Coimbatore: Police on Sunday closed the Goodshed Road near Avinashi flyover in the city on Sunday after a portion of the road caved in. No one was injured.
“Around 11.30am, a portion of the road caved in. As we were watching, the hole had started to expand to a few more inches. Fortunately, no vehicles were using the road at the time,” Balakrishnan, a commuter, said.
The road connects Avinashi Road with Marakadai area through an underpass and a lot of vehicles, particularly two-wheelers, use the service road daily.
