Videos posted on social media show the alleged moment when the bridge collapses.
The incident occurred around 10 a.m. on Monday and was captured on video, showing the moment the waters swept away part of the bridge structure. According to the Vietnam News Agency, a pier and two spans of the bridge were destroyed. The number of casualties has yet to be confirmed.
Local authorities are mobilizing rescue teams to conduct search operations, control traffic, and ensure the safety of the population. The Phong Châu Bridge, inaugurated in 1995, is 375.36 meters long and is an important connection route between various regions of the province.
Typhoon Yagi, considered the most powerful to hit Southeast Asia this year, has caused floods and landslides, resulting in at least 24 deaths and 299 injuries in northern Vietnam. The government has warned of the risk of further flooding, particularly in the Quang Ninh and Haiphong areas, where power and telecommunications services have been severely affected.
