SINGAPORE - A sinkhole that appeared at Yishun Avenue 7 on Wednesday (Oct 26) has been filled, PUB said.
The national water agency said that its contractors, who were carrying out sewer works, noticed a hole on the road at about 5pm on Wednesday.
"They cordoned off the area and backfilled the hole by 9pm yesterday," a PUB spokesman said.
Photos of the sinkhole were shared on social media by netizens who were concerned that it would pose a danger to motorists.
Investigations on what caused the hole are ongoing, PUB said.
Facebook used Salicia Hoe said that she saw a young Malay man standing in front of the sinkhole to warn others about it.
"He was jumping in and out of the road, waving to warn whenever he sees any car or motorists heading towards it. He was really worth commending," she said in a Facebook comment.
Others joked that the hole could lead to another dimension.
