- The Hongqi Bridge in Maerkang, Sichuan, a 758-meter cable-stayed structure completed in early 2025, partially collapsed on November 11 due to cracked slopes and shifting terrain, as detailed in the Reuters report cited in the post.

- Officials closed the bridge preemptively on November 10 after spotting geological issues, averting casualties despite triggering landslides visible in the attached video footage of dust clouds and debris falling into the reservoir below.

- This incident underscores ongoing challenges in China's high-speed infrastructure projects in tectonically active Sichuan province, where similar events—like the 2023 partial collapse of Chongqing's Sibuhe railway bridge—highlight vulnerabilities to seismic activity and erosion.
