Construction firm, 3 men charged over alleged lapses linked to 2022 Farrer Rd sinkhole
The Straits Times
|November 22, 2025
A construction company and three men were handed 11 charges in total on Nov 21 over alleged lapses linked to a sinkhole that resulted after a part of Farrer Road collapsed in November 2022 during tunnelling works.
No one was injured, but the road was closed to traffic for about a week.
Investigations by the Building and Construction Authority subsequently revealed that a tunnel boring machine was undergoing maintenance in the area when the ground in front of it destabilised.
This in turn caused a sinkhole to form on a slip road leading from Holland Road to Farrer Road on Nov 15, 2022.
The machine was excavating a tunnel for national water agency PUB’s Deep Tunnel Sewerage System Phase 2 in the vicinity.
