WATCH Entire Section of Chinas Newly Opened Bridge Collapses, Crashing Into River Below

(Screengrab via X) Viral footage captured the moment that an entire section of a newly constructed bridge in Chinas Sichuan province collapsed Tuesday, just months after it officially opened. The 758-metre Hongqi Bridge, part of a major national highway linking Chinas interior with Tibet, gave way after heavy landslides struck the surrounding mountainside, authorities in Maerkang city told Reuters. Videos circulating on social media show the moment the bridge gave way, with dust billowing upward before the road fell hundreds of meters. hongqi bridge hongqi bridge collapses hongqi bridge collapse china bridge collapse R IMPACT X #hongqibridge #hongqibridgecollapses #hongqibridgecollapse #chinabridgecollapse #rimpactx #chinabridgecollapse, #bridgecollapsechina, #chinabridgecollapse2025, #chinabridgecollapse2014, #chinabridgecollapse2024, #bridgecollapseinchina, #chinabridgecollapsevideo, #momentchinabridgecollapse, #bridgecollapsechina2025, #bridgecollapsechina2024, #northernchinabridgecollapse, #chinabridgecollapserealvideo, #glassbridgecollapseinchina, #chinabridgecollapseaerialvideo, #chinabridgecollapsetruckdriver, #meizhoubridgecollapsechina2024, #chinabridgecollapsecaughtoncamera, #chinafootbridgecollapse
