Blast drops 760-metre long road bridge.
A 760-metre long bridge in Changsha City, China was destroyed in a controlled explosion earlier today.
The Liuyang River Bridge was built in 1994 as an experimental bridge. It was a 24.5 metre wide, 4-lane two-way traffic bridge that had become a traffic bottleneck in the east entrance of Changsha.
Reports suggest that the bridge was built to carry up to 30,000 vehicles per day but traffic levels had exceeded 80,000 per day, resulting in premature wear on the bridge structure.
