FUKUOKA – A sinkhole opened up beneath a major road in downtown Fukuoka on Tuesday morning, disrupting traffic, power transmission and banking systems as authorities scrambled to evacuate surrounding areas at risk of more cave-ins.
The Fukuoka police and City Hall said they had not received any reports of injuries but blocked off nearby areas as a safety precaution.

The road apparently caved in at around 5:15 a.m. at an intersection near JR Hakata Station, according to Fukuoka City Hall.

The intersection is near an area where construction was underway to extend the Nanakuma subway line. City officials said the sinkhole was likely caused by water flowing into tunnels at the site.

While there were dozens of workers at the site, all fled in time and were confirmed safe, they added.

Work to extend the Nanakuma Line has also been linked to a smaller sinkhole that emerged in the same district in October 2014.

One expert speculated that the sinkhole was caused by multiple factors in addition to the construction work, such as high levels of groundwater and deterioration of the sewer system.

Nihon University professor Satoru Shimobe, who specializes in geoenvironmental engineering and geotechnical engineering, said a large portion of today’s sewer networks, which cover some 460,000 km nationwide, was built in the 1970s, when Japan was undergoing rapid economic growth. Most of the pipelines set underground have deteriorated over the years, he said.

“It is a growing social issue,” he said, adding that the number of sinkhole incidents rises every year and is hovering at a rate of around 4,000 to 5,000 annually.
