China: 2,500 foot Hongqi bridge collapses during landslide just months after opening

Source: The Mirror

“Part of a newly opened bridge collapsed in China’s Sichuan province on Tuesday after authorities closed it to all traffic the previous day when cracks appeared on nearby hills and roads. The Hongqi bridge, part of a national highway connecting China to neighboring Tibet, was a 2,500-foot structure that had been in operation for less than a year. Video of the collapse showed a landslide of rock and debris pouring onto the bridge until part of it crumbled into the river below in a plume of dust. Authorities did not report any casualties.” (11/11/25)
