'The police, SCDF, and Land Transport Authority (LTA) are currently on site managing the situation,' PUB said. Both directions of the affected road have been closed to traffic, with motorists advised to avoid the area and use alternative routes. 'Two water mains were damaged in the incident,' PUB said, adding that it is isolating the affected water mains. The SCDF said in a separate Facebook post that it had responded to a road traffic accident in Tanjong Katong Road South at about 5.50pm, and that its resources were still at the scene. In its Facebook post, the LTA said it was notified of the incident at about 6.05pm. 'The incident is under investigation and our contractors are on site to assist with the repair of the roads,' the authority said. Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC MP Goh Pei Ming and Mountbatten SMC MP Gho Sze Kee also alerted their followers through Facebook posts on the evening of July 26, with Mr Goh saying that bus services 36 and 48 have been diverted because of the sinkhole.

He added that he saw water suddenly gush out from the road and construction workers rushing to the area. 'It's shocking (that) something like this has happened in Singapore, but I'm sure that the authorities will do their utmost to ensure that it is perfectly safe before anything happens,' the 42-year-old businessman told The Straits Times. A couple in their sixties, who identified themselves only as Mr and Madam Lee, said that they were driving back home to their condominium in Mountbatten Road when they saw the flooded road. 'I thought a water pipe burst,' Mr Lee told ST. They added that sewage works have been ongoing in the area for months. In a notice pasted on the construction hoarding near the sinkhole, the PUB said it is carrying out sewer laying works in the Amber Gardens and Amber Road areas from the first quarter of 2023 to first quarter of 2026. At about 8.45pm, ST observed workers pumping water out, and a crane dredging the contents out of the sinkhole onto a tipper truck. - The Straits Times/ANN
