Leicester Sinkhole Closes Underpass | Leicester News

A major sinkhole erupted under Leicester’s Southgates underpass on Tuesday, July 21, forcing a southbound lane closure and triggering massive traffic chaos during rush hour. City crews scrambled to contain the “void,” excavated the area, and stabilized it with concrete — all while rerouting traffic and adjusting signals. Thankfully, the damage was contained, and the underpass is set to reopen fully by Thursday, July 23, bringing relief after a stressful couple of days for commuters.
