New Kypseli sinkholes and cracks linked to Metro Line 4 construction alarm residents

New sinkholes and cracks are reappearing in Kypseli, Athens, linked to Metro Line 4 construction, with residents reporting ongoing building movement and fearing for structural safety. A technical report recorded settlements up to 55 millimeters, exceeding the 15-millimeter safety limit. Residents describe daily new cracks and shifts, with some buildings showing damage to load-bearing elements. The metro tunnel works have been halted since May with no clear restart date. Two minor seismic tremors were also felt in the area, intensifying concerns about building stability. Some residents are considering abandoning their homes due to continuous damage. The phenomenon affects the wider Kypseli area, not just single points, with issues reported in doors, windows, and elevators across multiple apartments.
