A part of a recently-constructed bridge in China has collapsed in the country’s Sichuan province.
The incident occurred along a national highway that links the country’s heartland with the Tibet region.
There has been no report of any casualty so far.
The 758-metre bridge was closed on Monday after cracks started showing in nearby roads. Shifts were also seen in the terrain of a mountain nearby, Reuters quoted local government as saying.
The condition of the mountain had worsened on Tuesday, leading to the collapse of the bridge.
The bridge’s construction had finished earlier this year, as per social media posts by the contractor accessed by Reuters.
This is a developing story. Check back later for more updates.
