SINGAPORE: Tanjong Katong Road South between Mountbatten Road and East Coast Parkway (ECP) will be closed until further notice for repairs, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on Sunday (Jul 27), after a sinkhole opened up the day before.
LTA said in a Facebook post that it is working with national water agency PUB and the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) to monitor the repair works and ensure the overall safety of the area.
A stretch of road along Tanjong Katong Road South collapsed on Saturday, causing a car to plunge into the hole.
The sinkhole occurred next to a PUB worksite, near the junction of Tanjong Katong Road South and Mountbatten Road at about 5pm.
A video posted by Thelocalsociety on Facebook showed migrant workers pulling a woman from the sinkhole, which was filled with water.
Other workers were seen directing traffic and using cones and barriers to close the road.
