A recent 5.7 earthquake cracked a city bridge’s outer concrete, but engineers say the main structure is sound. Swift closure and emergency response kept everyone safe.
The quake struck before dawn, causing concern, but experts confirmed the steel inside stayed intact. Repairs will take 4–6 weeks to fix the damage and protect the steel.
This has renewed calls to upgrade aging infrastructure and boost safety checks. While the closure caused delays, it showed how quick action can prevent disaster.
