On June 21, 2024, a 12-meter deep sinkhole suddenly appeared at a construction site of a Chengdu Metro Line 13 underground station in China. No casualties were reported, and the incident occurred near residential buildings. The sinkhole was caused by the bursting of two water pipes during construction work, leading to the collapse of a road surface. The affected area is known for its ginkgo trees and is a popular tourist spot. Chinese netizens expressed concerns about the safety of the construction site and the nearby residents. Chengdu authorities have imposed a 48-hour traffic control measure in the area, and the Metro Line 13 is scheduled to be operational by 2025.
