SURABAYA, KOMPAS – A sinkhole has appeared on Jl. Raya Gubeng due to subsidence in Surabaya, East Java, causing the road to be closed for at least five days for the first recovery phase. This means the repairs could take more than a week to allow time for investigators and experts to determine the cause of the subsidence.
A day after the sinkhole appeared on Wednesday (12/19/2018), authorities had cordoned off the area of subsidence so police and experts could investigate. The sinkhole is 100 meters long, 25 meters wide and 20 meters deep.
