A City Hall contractor rebuilding the drain walls along Lorong Apens 1 in Luyang.
CITY HALL has repaired a roadside drain along Lorong Apens 1 in Luyang, three years after cracks started forming in the structure.
A spokesman for the agency said an inspection carried out in the middle of March revealed that the walls of the structure were damaged.
“This has caused the common land and road in the vicinity to destabilise,” he said on April 12.

“Our contractor rebuilt the walls of the drain to prevent further erosion from occurring.”
He said horizontal concrete supports were also put in place to prevent the walls of the structure from caving in.
