A 758-metre-long bridge has partially collapsed in China’s southwestern province of Sichuan after a landslide struck the mountainside where it was built. Dramatic video shows a large section of the bridge breaking away and plunging into the river below on Tuesday just months after opening. The local government said police closed Hongqi bridge to all traffic on Monday afternoon after cracks appeared on nearby slopes and roads, and shifts were seen in the terrain of a mountain before conditions worsened yesterday. The bridge was completed earlier this year as part of a major highway project linking central China with Tibet.
