Translation:

Part of the sidewalk of "Cherni Vrah" boulevard - an area, in which work is taking place with the aim of extension of the subway towards the "Hladilnika" district, has sunk, Darik informs us. The hole is close to the "Vitosha" plant. A police crew has been sent. "Metropolitan" (Metropolitan is owned by Sofia Municipality and serves rapid rail transport - the metro in Sofia.), has confirmed to Darik Radio that there is a sinkhole and that the case is being investigated. According to witness reports, the roads are not affected and automobiles can move freely. The hole is a square meters wide. The first reports, however, were from taxi drivers, which have said that a few automobiles have sunk. Later, it turned out that such claims are exaggerated.

Teams of the construction companies, which build the subway stations from the "James Bourchier" station to the "Hladilnika" station, work on the rebuilding of the sidewalk, reported the press center of Sofia Municipality. There is no defection on the pave of the road and vehicle traffic in the area is carried out normally. A reorganization for the safe movement of pedestrians has been conducted until the sidewalk is fixed, Municipality of Sofia claimed.
