Crater formed in drainage work in Natal Sérgio Henrique Santos/Inter TV Cabugi A drainage work in the Planalto neighborhood, in the West Zone of Natal, gave way after last weekend's rains and turned into a crater on the corner of Maranata and Vicente Martins Fernandes streets. The situation generated concern among residents, especially retiree Gilberto Bispo, who lives next door. He fears that the house's sidewalk could collapse and that the structure of the house could be damaged in the event of further rain in the coming days. ?

The secretariat informed that the responsible company is already working to restore the section and must complete the service within the expected period of 30 days.

Street residents reported that the work began around 20 days ago and that a motorcyclist fell into the hole last week, but managed to get out without serious injuries. To prevent further accidents, the city installed sandbags to divert water, protective fences and cones from the Urban Mobility Department. The construction team's work resumed this Monday. The workers told Inter TV that they would begin installing the hardware and concreting the gallery, but the clay collapse required the site to be cleaned beforehand.
