Dwars Street & Eleazer Street Intersection
Please note that the intersection of Dwars Street and Eleazer Street has been closed by authorities due to the threat of a developing sinkhole.
🚧 Avoid the area and use alternative routes.
What is a Sinkhole?
A sinkhole is a depression or hole in the ground caused by the collapse of a surface layer, often due to water eroding underground rock (like limestone or dolomite). In areas with older or poorly maintained infrastructure, leaking pipes or heavy rains can speed up this erosion.
Why is it dangerous?
Sinkholes can form suddenly and without warning, creating deep and unstable holes that can swallow vehicles, damage roads, and put lives at risk. For motorists and pedestrians, this poses a serious safety hazard.
🛑 Please avoid the area and use alternative routes until further notice.
Stay safe and stay updated.
