The recent earthquake left a significant mark on the infrastructure of the affected area, with one of the most notable incidents being the collapse of a bridge support.

While initial images of the scene were alarming, it became clear that the collapse primarily affected the outer concrete layer, which compromised the structural integrity to some extent.

This fortunate outcome prevented an even more catastrophic scenario.

Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, assessing the damage and ensuring no vehicles were trapped under the rubble. The bridge, a vital link for the community, had experienced a decrease in traffic due to the alerts issued before the earthquake. This preventive measure undoubtedly reduced the risk of casualties.

While reconstruction plans are underway, engineers are focusing on reinforcing the remaining structure to withstand future seismic activity. The disaster has sparked a broader debate about the need to improve construction standards and conduct regular maintenance reviews of public infrastructure in earthquake-prone regions.
