A broken drain pipe caused a one-foot wide sinkhole at South Padre Island that led to traffic delays, according to a Facebook post from the city.

The sinkhole was located at the 1300 block of Padre Boulevard and caused "significant traffic delays" on the northbound lanes; those lanes have since reopened.

The city said the sinkhole was reported by road work crews at around 4 a.m. Tuesday. The Texas Department of Public Safety, the Laguna Madre Water District and the city collaborated to fix the issue.

Repairs on the broken drain pipe have been completed.
