Seven people were killed and 9 others were missing after a rope broke at a bridge under construction in northwest China on Friday.
The People’s Daily said 15 workers and a project manager were at the site on the bridge spanning the Yellow River in Qinghai province when the rope snapped at around 3:00 am on Friday.
The bridge on the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway is the world’s largest-span double-track railway continuous steel truss arch bridge, according to the report.
It is also China’s first railway steel truss arch bridge spanning the Yellow River.
