CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – A heavy traffic area got untenable for about two hours this afternoon after a sinkhole opened up on westbound Hydraulic Road in the right lane in front of the Whole Foods. Crews have done a temporary fix to get traffic flowing back in that lane after backfilling and using a steel plate opening the lane back up. It had been closed between Brandywine and Hillsdale.

The city is working with an on-call contractor to determine the cause then implement a permanent repair. They hope to have this work scheduled and coordinated within the next week.

But before that, "Seinfeld" — where going to the movies, with or without the aid of Moviefone, was nearly as regular a destination as the coffee shop — gave birth to dozens of (fake) films.
