NEW DELHI, June 5 (Reuters) - A suspension bridge being built in India's poorest state collapsed for the second time in 14 months, with one person reported missing, Reuters partner ANI reported on Monday.
The bridge was being built over the River Ganges in Bhagalpur district of India's eastern state of Bihar.
Construction was scheduled to be completed in 2019 but faced multiple delays, including those caused by an earlier collapse on April 30 last year due to strong winds and rain.
I never worked on a suspension bridge but I did build multiple steel and concrete bridges. Especially with a steel girder bridge it is hard to imagine how "wobbly" they are until all the pieces are in place. I remember walking out on a large fabricated long span girder on the top flange, before long it was like I was dancing----I dropped down and walked the rest of the way on the bottom flange
