A section of the newly built Hongqi Bridge in Sichuan province, China collapsed after signs of slope instability and cracks were found nearby. The 758-metre structure, part of a major highway linking central China and Tibet, had been closed to traffic for inspection when a landslide caused the approach roadbed to give way. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported, but the incident has heightened scrutiny of construction standards in earthquake- and landslide-prone terrains. | Mews
