Blackwater caverns over 2 kilometers long were found in Ecatepec after several sinkholes appeared due to rain.

Authorities in Ecatepec, Mexico, have discovered a network of sewage caverns spanning over two kilometers beneath the R1 avenue. The discovery followed the emergence of several sinkholes caused by recent heavy rains in the area.

The municipal government estimates that repairing the structural damage will require an additional 100 million pesos. This expense is in addition to the 500 million pesos already allocated for the comprehensive rehabilitation of the roadway.
