A sinkhole caused by a burst water main is causing major delays for drivers around a Gold Coast shopping centre.
Gold Coast Council was forced to close the Sunshine and Hooked Boulevards intersection, near Pacific Fair Shopping Centre, after the leak caused part of the road to collapse and swallowed a set of traffic lights.
Council says the busy intersection may take up to two days to repair and is urging drivers to avoid the area.

"Traffic is being diverted through the Pacific Fair carpark, however motorists are advised to avoid the area.
"Water supply to the area is not affected however customers may experience lower water pressure during the repairs."
The incident comes amid the busy Christmas Shopping period at Pacific Fair.
Gold Coast Council has thanked drivers for their patience.
