SHANGHAI: Viral footage on Chinese social media showed a massive sinkhole appearing at a construction site in southwest Shanghai – swallowing part of the road and nearby structures before quickly filling with water.
The sinkhole occurred a day after workers discovered a water leak during an excavation for a metro line on Wednesday night (Feb 11).
Despite efforts to plug the leak, the ground gave way on Thursday, authorities said.
The collapse occurred at the intersection of Qixin Road and Li’an Road, which has since been closed off to traffic and pedestrians.
Construction crews were building the new Qixin Road Station, which will connect Shanghai’s Minhang district to Jiading district in the north.
The station is part of the 44km Jiamin metro line, which began construction in mid-2021 and is scheduled for completion in 2027.
