Bridge collapse near Anegundi, India

There has been another tragic incident during the construction of a bridge. This time in India. Apparently a cable stayed bride over the Tungabhadra river failed during construction. There are several reports from different media organizations but at this stage the number of dead and injured workers and the cause of the incident have not been established.


From the photographs it looks as if it was a single tower asymetric, concrete deck cable stayed bridge and they were progressing on the erection of the main span


Photos were retrived from this website



Other report


There is never an acceptable excuse for something like this to happen!
