Crews fill sinkhole in front of Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort

May 22 (UPI) -- Crews filled a sinkhole that opened in front of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort Monday in Palm Beach, Fla.

Repair work on the sinkhole, which was located near a newly installed water main, caused minor traffic delays, authorities said. It's not clear if the water main contributed to the sinkhole.

Crews used an excavator to backfill the 4-by-4 foot sinkhole, which grew to 10-feet by 6-feet due to their digging.

Sinkholes are common in Florida -- "as much a part of the Florida landscape as palm trees and alligators," according to The Weather Channel..

Mar-a-Lago has become known as the Winter White House with Trump's frequent visits since taking office on Jan. 20. He has hosted foreign leaders, including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

In March, the Government Accountability Office watchdog agreed to review the costs and security precautions related to his travel and visits.
