Macau | Gov’t striving to repair sinkhole near Sai Van Bridge by next week

Macau (MNA) – The Macau SAR Government is striving to repair a sinkhole that appeared on the Taipa side of the Sai Van Bridge by next week following the passage of Typhoon Mangkhut.

Evaluation results show that the sinkhole was formed by the damaged underground pipe network, surrounding which soil has been eroding for a long time. The storm surge caused by Typhoon Mangkhut accelerated the soil erosion of the area.

The government calls the attention of drivers regarding temporary traffic measures which will be undertaken in the area due to road repairs.
