A 2,500-foot bridge partially collapsed in China following a landslide on the mountain where it was built.

The Honqi Bridge was only just completed earlier this year. It was part of a highway that links Sichuan and the nation’s heartland with Tibet.

The bridge was reopened only months before its collapse. X

Harrowing video of the incident shows the landslide pounding rubble onto the bridge, with the span collapsing under the weight and impact.

Portion of the bridge appeared to fall into the river that the bridge was built across.
