The police are also regulating traffic on Avinguda Gabriel Roca at the old Pacha. Traffic in the direction of Andratx is being diverted along carrer de Monsenyor Palmer and traffic in the direction of Arenal, towards Avinguda Joan Miró.
The sinkhole was caused by the heavy rains brought by storm Juliette this morning on the Avingudes de Palma, at the height of the former Sa Nostra headquarters. It has a diameter of eight metres and two of the three lanes in the direction of Plaça Espanya and one of the three lanes in the direction of General Riera have had to be closed.
