A newly opened bridge in China called the Hongqi Bridge recently collapsed, with no injuries or deaths reported. 

After cracks appeared in the new 758 meter (47 mile) bridge, it was shut down. Just days before the collapsing. 

Hongqi Bridge opened to the public in 2008 but was damaged and shut down following the Sichuan earthquake. This bridge bordered one of their busiest highways, connecting both Sichuan and Tibet. 

The earthquake killed nearly 70,000 people. 

There has been no official announcement on whether or not the bridge will be rebuilt, again.
