Sinkhole
Police were at the scenes directing traffic and recommended taking alternative routes.
A new study showed for the first time that "underground climate change" causes the ground beneath urban areas to move, expand and contract.
The Dead Sea's water levels have been on the decline and sinkholes have converged throughout the area. Why did this happen and can we stop it?
The sinkhole may have opened up due to a failure of an underground water pipe.
