Sichuan China's Bridges: South Nin River Bridge in Mianyang

July 2008 (31.4502°N, 104.7503°E) South Nin River Bridge

Another open spandrel arch bridge, this one in Mianyang. The South Nin River Bridge is a six-span arch bridge with an additional slab bridge at the north end. During the earthquake, some of the haunched girders atop the spandrel columns cracked at midspan, probably due to excessive column movement.
