List of bridge disasters


This is a list of bridge failures.

4 died when beam broke,
21 died when truss fell into river

Reopened on 18 November of that year. Replaced with a self-anchored suspension bridge and approach spans in 2013.

Structural failure was caused by improper welding of the steel trusses of the suspension structure beneath the concrete slab roadway.

A preliminary investigation discovered that the engineers had underspecified the loading capacity of the scaffolding in several ways, but ultimately it was determined that the unevenly settling foundation was the primary cause of the collapse.
