A newly constructed 2,487-foot-long bridge partially collapsed this week, NBC News reports.

The Hongqi Bridge, which connects the Sichuan province in China with Tibet, was initially closed after cracks appeared on slopes and roads in the mountainous region nearby on Monday (November 10) before a landslide caused it to fracture and collapse on Tuesday (November 11), officials in the city of Ma'erkang confirmed. No casualties were reported in relation to the incident and the cause is still being investigated.

Verified videos obtained by ABC News that were previously shared on Chinese social media apps showed the collapse taking place, as well as the aftermath in the area. The bridge concluded its construction earlier this year, according to local media reports.
