Westbound Highway 92 in San Mateo County is closed between Crystal Springs Reservoir and Pilarcitos Creek Road due to the possibility of a sinkhole opening up, officials said Wednesday.

The California Highway Patrol said there is a dip in the westbound lane of the highway west of upper Highway 35 (Skyline Boulevard) that could turn into a sinkhole if the lane is kept open and vehicles continue to drive over it.

The westbound lane has been shut down "until further notice for precautionary measures," the CHP said.

Eastbound Highway 92 is open.

Motorists were urged to take alternate routes.
