Road closure to fix sinkhole on Jalan Awan Jawa, KL


A SINKHOLE opened up on Jalan Awan Jawa in Taman Yarl Kuala Lumpur late Friday (Nov 12) afternoon and had progressively gotten bigger and bigger the following morning forcing the temporary closure of the road by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).

The sinkhole which is located at a dead-end road has been partially cordoned off as it is estimated to be about three to four metres deep.
