That is not sinkhole. If u look closely, u will notice there was a box culvert at that location. I guess it was poorly design (possible cause: not using the correct size of reinforcement and right mixture or right size of the culvert), therefore leading to collapse.

Sinkhole appears in the middle of a road in Ogbor Hill, Aba, following heavy downpour

Heavy rainfall in Aba, Abia State, led to a sinkhole appearing in the middle of the road in Ogbor Hill, just after Waterside.

Residents emerged from their homes to see the shocking sinkhole in the residential area.

A mini bus had been swallowed by the hole and residents gathered round the hole in shock as they took on the sight before them.

Form the look of things, there is a drainage running from one end of the bridge to the other end, it appears to be blocked, and the erosion started to overflow, eating up the sand underneath the bridge gradually, until the sand finally gave way and the bridge collapsed..!

This is definitely not aba. It must be somewhere in oshogbo. The land of billionaires don't look like this. Aba looks like Dubai...this is Lagos Ibadan Express news.

Aba people are all billionaires. How can they experience such.

Biafra project duly executed.

Where is seun and lalasticlala?

So evident that the foolish, wicked and corrupt engineer was trying to construct a gutter or drainage before closing it up with quick sand grin grin
You're on point.

This is a geological activity beyond man's capacity.
The earth itself is shifting. You can only keep rebuilding if you insist on living in that area..

There's a culvert beneath..that's the cause..they probably didn't compact the material adequately...that's assuming the culvert wasn't carrying water through..in which case it will cause a displacement of material and subsequently failure..shoddy job by the contractor, they should have seen this coming.

Give it a break! I've worked on far complex jobs than this..they did not compact that road well and that was because of the formwork on the culvert..from the pictures you can see that the asphalt thickness was very OK but the compaction wasn't properly done and that's because of the culvert..if water was going through and the culvert wasn't well constructed then it will cause displacement and failure...it's the contractor's fault 100 %
