Los Mochis, Sinaloa.- The Potable Water and Sewage Board of the Municipality of Ahome (Japama) detected a huge sinkhole on Rosendo G. Castro Boulevard, just as the collector repair work began. Fortunately, a tragedy was avoided, since it represented a great danger for motorists, said Raúl Pérez Miranda, general manager of the paramunicipal.
He commented that this mega sinkhole is located between Águila Azteca and Playa Las Glorias streets, in the Lázaro Cárdenas neighborhood, and the section that includes the collapsed drainage in this area is 552 linear meters.
“It is a very critical situation, we were able to act in time to repair this drainage. At the moment when the machines began to demolish the concrete, the pavement slab was floating, we realized that it was completely undermined. We have a sinkhole with a depth of approximately 4 meters, little more than 2 meters is water and this meant a latent risk in each of the motorists who passed by, a heavy truck that could have passed through there could have meant some tragedy, “he said.

Pérez Miranda acknowledged that if there were no major consequences, it was thanks to the fact that Mayor Gerardo Vargas Landeros managed resources to rehabilitate it and, given this situation, they will review the city’s sinkholes to check which ones imply more risk and in those that cannot be dealt with immediately, they will place signaling.
