This follows the completion of repair works and safety assessments of the affected road section and the surrounding roads after a sinkhole formed on Saturday (26 July), which led to a female driver to be sent to the hospital.

Since then, road reinstatement works have been ongoing, and bus services 36 and 48 have been temporarily diverted.

Rigorous safety checks, including ground scans and stability assessments, have been carried out to evaluate the road conditions and ensure they are safe for use.
