FOLLOWING a huge sinkhole appearing at Samsen road in September last year another smaller one emerged at this same road this afternoon (Nov. 9) with road users urged to avoid the area, Naewna newspaper said.
At approximately 3.55 p.m. a section of this road in front of Boon Rawd Brewery Co., Ltd. caved in with relevant officials and agencies dispatched to the site to investigate and carry out urgent repairs.
Meanwhile, Dusit District Office issued an alert to road users about the subsidence of the road at this spot advising them to temporarily seek alternative routes.
The giant sinkhole that suddenly showed up on the stretch of this road in front of Vajira Hospital last year was just above the construction of the Purple Line’s new underground station with one of the tunnels there being damaged leading to soil and water from a burst main gushing in. Fortunately there were no casualties but patients and nearby residents were evacuated.
