Video shows damage to the roadway in the Crystal Lakes subdivision, just off U.S. Highway 190 East.
A massive chunk of Crystal Lakes West, which sits above a culvert, washed away, making it impassable for cars and even pedestrians.
According to Polk County Pct. 2, a beaver dam blocked a pipe in a culvert, causing flooding during heavy rainfall on Tuesday. The flooding loosened the dirt, causing the road to wash away.

Officials say they brought in a dump truck full of new dirt. Repairs were expected to take up to eight hours, but by 2:40 p.m. Wednesday, the road was fixed.
The Polk County Office of Emergency Management asked residents on the westside of the neighborhood to shelter in place while a solution to the problem is being worked out. However, officials said there is another way in and out of the subdivision for residents who need to leave.
Polk County Pct. 4 Commissioner Jerry Cassity was in the neighborhood early Wednesday morning. He said he and other county officials planned to a meet to make a game plan about the repairs.
Residents in the neighborhood are urged to call 911 for any emergencies.
A woman living in the area told ABC13 that the subdivision holds about 60 homes.
Meanwhile, the Polk County OEM issued a boil water notice for Wells Landing due to a line break in the system. Officials didn't say how long the order is being issued.
