A giant sinkhole has opened up on one of central Manchester’s busiest roads after torrential rain hit the city.
The 40ft crater on Mancunian Way opened up at lunchtime on Friday between the junctions with the A6 London Road and Fairfield Street, halting traffic in both directions. It is feared that the road – one of the city’s main arteries – could be shut for weeks.
The hole is believed to have been caused by either a collapsed sewer or water pipe. Manchester city council and United Utilities engineers were assessing the damage on Friday afternoon amid reports that the hole appeared to be getting bigger.
