Last night a road bridge collapsed over the River Misharchay at 141-km of the Alat-Astara highway in southern Azerbaijan.
Built in Jalilabad in 1964, the bridge is technically out of date because of large truck use, and it was unable to take the load, explained the press service of Azeryolservis.
There were no injuries resulting from the collapse. Due to the destruction of the bridge, cars are redirected on alternative roads, and for trucks an alternative road will be laid in 1-2 days.
Repair crews are working at the scene. -16D06-
