WTF, Russia? At least when we lose a bridge, it's because a container ship collided with it. This one, across a critical rail line in Vyazma, Russia, just gave up the ghost. Smolensk region, Russia ❗ Briefly about the state of the country. Today the Paninsky Bridge collapsed in Vyazma, Smolensk region. Preliminarily, 5 people were injured, one died. The structure connected part of the city with the industrial center. A logistics hub is destroyed. First it was planned to be renovated in 2018. About 10 million rubles were budgeted for this. 1.5 million rubles were allocated for the inspection of the Paninsky Bridge in March 2023. According to locals, four spans that passed over the Moscow-Minsk railway tracks collapsed. Traffic on both sides is stopped. Electrical wires were also broken and a gas pipe was damaged. There is no threat of explosion, preliminary.

One of the possible reasons for the collapse of the bridge is the mobility of the soil after winter due to melting snow, and wear and tear of the concrete structure. The Investigative Committee of the Smolensk Region opened a criminal case. According to russian media Mash, residents complained to the Popular Front about the condition of the bridge back in 2018. They asked to include it in the list of overhaul objects, but Putin would rather continue to invest in a senseless war rather than in the country's infrastructure. https://twitter.com/LXSummer1/status/1777368843381317994
