A STRETCH of road at Cornwall Gardens sank on Saturday, creating a massive hole that measured 8 metres by 7 metres, with a depth of 3 metres.
The road subsidence occurred above the tunnel boring machine where tunnelling works for the MRT Circle Line were being carried out.
In a statement on Saturday, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said that its engineers and contractors have assessed the hole and said 'there is no risk to residents in the vicinity'.
It added that 'works to backfill the hole is in progress'.
In the meantime, Cornwall Gardens Road has been temporarily closed to traffic to facilitate the repair works.
Members of the public are advised to avoid the road.
