A section of Arrowood Dr. has been closed until further notice for sinkhole repairs.

A sinkhole has opened on Arrowood Dr. in Clarksville.

Arrowood Dr. will be closed from the back entrance of Wal-Mart to Jordan Dr. off Purple Heart Parkway until further notice.

Officer Natalie Hall with the Clarksville Police Department says any drivers who go around the barricades in place to enter the blocked roadway will be cited.

"The roadway is blocked off in order to keep those in the immediate area safe from injury and to prevent further damage created by the sinkhole," she said.

A large sinkhole opened on the same stretch of road last September.
