Also, a 1.5m deep road collapse occurred in Gangdong-gu… On-site investigation underway (Seoul, Korea)

Another 1.5m deep road collapse occurred in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea. The collapse occurred in the middle of the road, but fortunately no casualties have been reported.
The road has been closed and the exact cause is being investigated. According to fire authorities and the Gangdong-gu Office on the 30th, the accident occurred around 3:35 pm on the same day near Gildong Intersection in Seokildongnae-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul.
A large collapse occurred on the road, measuring 2.2 meters wide and 1.5 meters deep. The first report was made to the police, who confirmed that fortunately there were no casualties. The authorities have decided to open two lanes.
The area has been closed off and the cause is being investigated at the site. It has been confirmed that no construction work is currently being carried out under the road where the collapse occurred. However, the ward office said that the drainage manholes around the collapsed area are not working properly.
It is believed that a water valve was not properly closed, causing a leak, which led to the collapse. A district office official said, "We plan to take additional measures after identifying the exact cause."
