Chirajara bridge collapse

On 15 January 2018, a partially constructed bridge in Chirajara, Guayabetal, Colombia collapsed, killing at least 10 workers and injuring several more. The 446-metre (1,463 ft) cable-stayed bridge, located in the Cundinamarca Department, was part of an expansion of National Route 40 between Bogota and Villavicencio scheduled to open in March 2018. It crosses a ravine at a height of 280 metres (920 ft) and is held by stay-cables from two towers, of which one collapsed.
