After a recent earthquake, part of a bridge’s outer concrete layer cracked and fell away, exposing the inner framework. Fortunately, the main load-bearing structure remained intact, preventing a more serious collapse.
Witnesses described hearing a loud crack, followed by dust and falling debris. Emergency crews quickly arrived, blocked off the area, and rerouted traffic. Engineers confirmed the damage was mostly superficial but still required urgent repairs, with temporary supports put in place.
No one was injured, thanks to swift emergency response and public cooperation. Officials plan to inspect all nearby bridges for safety, stressing the importance of regular maintenance in earthquake-prone areas.
