Sinkhole Threatens Galicia's Coastline: Emergency Repairs Needed

Moaña Sinkhole Threatens Vigo Estuary: Road Closure and Emergency Action Needed A dangerous sinkhole has forced the closure of a road in Moaña, Galicia, Spain, raising concerns about potential environmental damage. Municipal workers discovered a 12-meter gap revealing unsupported asphalt, creating a risk of collapse. The proximity of underground pipes adds to the danger, as a break could cause a spill into the Vigo estuary. "When there's bad weather, the sea hits hard," said one local resident, highlighting the vulnerability of the area. The town council has requested urgent intervention from the State Coasts authority to prevent further damage and potential environmental disaster. The incident underscores the need for infrastructure maintenance and highlights the impact on local residents whose only access to their homes is now blocked.
