Coldharbour Lane is currently closed once again, this time because a dangerous mini-sinkhole has appeared by the junction with Somerleyton Road.
Police have now closed the strip of Coldharbour Lane between Gresham Road and Railton Road while they wait for the council to make the necessary repairs.
Although it’s clearly a mere trifle of a sinkhole compared to the monsters that swallow entire houses, it’s easily big – and deep enough – to cause serious injuries to cyclists and other two wheel users.
A small sinkhole has appeared on Coldharbour Lane. We are looking in to it!
In the meantime, there is a diversion around the Somerleyton Estate whilst we await the council.
Avoid the area if you can. pic.twitter.com/KJJivChe0k
