The massive pothole is on the Ontario Feeder west of Orleans as drivers head onto the outbound Kennedy Expressway.

The pothole is on the left lane of the feeder, IDOT says to avoid it, simply take the right lane.

IDOT Minutemen said they would handle the pothole at some point during the day.

Illinois State Police told ABC7 there were no reports of flat tires on Monday morning.
