Adani Bridge In Enugu Collapses As Fully-loaded Truck Tries To Cross It (Pictures)

Adani Bridge in Enugu State collapses as 10-wheeler truck laden with 25-tonnes chippings tries to cross the old structure.

The overturned truck, still hanging on the collapse portion of the bridge, spilled part of its contents into the river below.

A link-bridge in Enugu State called the Adani bridge has collapsed when a 10-wheeler loaded with building materials – stones to be precise – was passing through it.

According to reports, the stone-laden truck was crossing the bridge when the structure caved in, spilling parts of its 25-tonnes chippings into the river below. The vehicle’s combined weight was obviously too much for the old structure to take.
