A sinkhole has appeared at the Roma intersection in Kristinehamn, Sweden, according to multiple reports. Parts of the intersection at Skaraborgsvägen – Södra Ringvägen – Västra Ringvägen are cordoned off. The municipality of Kristinehamn estimates it will take about a week to fix the problem.
In Oslo, a sinkhole about three meters wide appeared at the intersection of Suhms gate and Harald Hårfagres gate. According to NRK Nyheter, Gabriel Langfeldt described the sinkhole as about three meters wide and said the intersection has been cordoned off until the city environment agency completes its investigations. The sinkhole in Oslo may be related to a leak in the area a couple of weeks ago, according to Bymiljøetaten (Oslo city environment agency).
We are on site, and it is a sinkhole about three meters wide. We have cordoned off the intersection until the city environment agency has been on site and done their investigations.
The cause of the sinkhole in Kristinehamn remains unknown, and its depth and exact size have not been confirmed. There are no reports of injuries or damage from either sinkhole.
