A sinkhole is growing rapidly on a central Auckland road – metres away from where the harbour’s high watermark was in 1840.
A Stuff reporter on the scene said the hole looks to be about 1.6 metres deep, 3.5m long and 2.5m wide, with a hole tunnelling under the road for about 1.5m.
Just next to the hole is a covered-up hole that was formed during the Auckland Anniversary weekend flooding in January, which locals say has never been repaired.
While there are cones around the hole, there are no staff or workers onsite.
