The city government reported a major land sinkage at the abandoned construction site of a 10-floor commercial-residential building in Gazue. The building site faces the Centro Médico Gazcue on Av. Leopoldo Navarro near Av. Bolivar. The ground collapse occurred at around 4am. A Honda Civic and a Honda Fit sunk with the collapsed ground. The vehicles were parked outside the affected area. As reported in El Nacional, one construction engineer attributed the landslide to the breakage of a six-inch CAASD water line. The sinkage caused major traffic congestion in the area.
Acento reports that a team of inspectors from the Ministry of Public Works were at the site to verify if the construction permits were in order.
