Old, unused pipework running under Kessels Road collapsed on Monday morning, causing two lanes of traffic to be closed for most of the morning.

A Transport and Main Roads spokesperson said the underground pipework collapse near MacGregor Street in Upper Mt Gravatt "caused some damage".

The sinkhole opened on Kessels Road, outside the Garden City shopping centre.

The sinkhole temporarily closed two lanes of traffic outside the Westfield Garden City shopping centre on Kessels Road until about 11am while RoadTek crews responded.

Westbound traffic toward Rocklea was delayed as repairs were conducted for several hours.

The spokesperson said there were no current traffic delays.
