New bridge spectacularly collapses in China

Lisa Visentin  |  November 12, 2025 — 11.58am

Beijing: A newly opened bridge in southwest China has partially collapsed, plunging into the river below after worsening mountain conditions triggered landslides.

No casualties were recorded because the bridge had been closed to traffic. Inspection crews on Monday had noticed cracks on the slopes and shifts were seen in the terrain of a mountain, Chinese state media outlet The Global Times reported.

The 758-metre-long Hongqi bridge, in the western province of Sichuan, was part of the national highway linking the country’s heartland with Tibet.

By Monday evening, authorities had evacuated all stranded vehicles on the bridge, and warning signs were set up on-site to strictly control unauthorised entry, according to the local paper Sichuan Daily.

Footage released by Chinese state media showed a section of the bridge near the mountain slope collapsing on Tuesday as a landslide ruptured the foundations. The approach bridge and roadbed disappeared into a plume of smoke as the structures plunged into the river.

Construction of the bridge was finished earlier this year  .  .  .

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

I think they (China) now claims the two tallest bridges in the world.... I think an engineer would see the vantage of having a better landing footing on a mountainside where landslides occur. The area had like a 5.4 earthquake not long ago, but should of been designed to absorb even larger quakes.

Nah, Trumps says that’s what MAGA wants, I’m starting to get the feeling that when it comes to Trump knowing what MAGA wants and giving MAGA what it wants are two different things. I think it’s a safe bet that no one who says they’re MAGA wants 600K chicoms displacing Americans while spying on American industry and military.
