The Yangmingtan Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning over the Songhua River in Harbin, China.
A part of the newly inaugurated 15adj=midNaNadj=mid bridge spanning the Songhua River collapsed on August 24, 2012, at 5 am, killing 3 people and injuring 2 others.[1] Problems seem to have occurred due to the weight of trucks using the bridge. The bridge was designed to handle 55 tons, but the combined weight of heavy trucks, amounting to at least 500 tons, caused the bridge to collapse. The collapse was blamed mostly on the construction design and on the project's having been finished too quickly and on traffic controllers having allowed, onto the bridge, vehicles of excessive weight.[2]
