The recent earthquake rattled the region’s infrastructure, with one bridge suffering a dramatic support collapse. At first glance, the damage looked disastrous — but engineers later confirmed it was mostly the outer concrete that fell, sparing the bridge from total failure.
Thankfully, no vehicles were trapped beneath the debris. Warnings issued before the quake had already reduced traffic, preventing what could have been a tragic outcome.
Reconstruction is now underway, with engineers reinforcing the structure to better withstand future quakes. The incident has also reignited conversations about stricter building standards and regular inspections in earthquake-prone areas.
Amid the damage, the community’s resilience stands out. Residents and local authorities are working side by side to restore safety and rebuild, proving once again that preparedness and solidarity are as vital as the structures themselves.
