A large sinkhole appeared, causing traffic jams in the center of Sin Cheng commune.

Due to prolonged heavy rain, on the morning of August 7, a large sinkhole appeared on the road connecting National Highway 4 to Sin Cheng commune (through Mao Sao Chai village), causing traffic congestion.

The crater was collapsed when it first appeared.

Informing reporters, Mr. Vien Dinh Hiep, Chairman of the People's Committee of Sin Cheng Commune, said: At around 8:30 a.m. on August 7, people in Mao Sao Chai village suddenly discovered a large sinkhole on the road from National Highway 4 to the commune center. Initially, the mouth of the sinkhole was small but then gradually widened. By late this afternoon (August 7), the sinkhole had expanded to a circumference of about 16 m and a depth of 6 m.

Currently, the sinkhole is still expanding; the estimated volume of rock and soil that has collapsed into the hole is nearly 100 ^m3 .

Immediately after receiving the information, the local authorities coordinated with the commune police to stretch warning ropes and put up traffic signs to direct vehicles in the appropriate direction to ensure traffic safety.

Authorities stretched out ropes to direct traffic through the sinkhole.

Also this morning, the People's Committee of Sin Cheng commune requested the Department of Construction and specialized agencies to inspect and clarify the cause of the sinkhole and advise on a treatment plan.

Sin Cheng commune authorities also asked Mao Sao Chai village chief to warn people not to be curious and approach the sinkhole area to see if it could cause safety hazards.
