四川阿坝州。红旗大桥突然垮塌,桥体坠入足木足河。这项伟大的历史性工程,今年1月14日刚合龙。红旗特大桥为马尔康市双江口水电站库区复建工程,全长758米,主跨220米,主墩高172米,使用寿命不足10个月。声称质量没有问题,主因是山体滑坡。这里面回扣多少?作为建在“高风险区”的特大桥,建设前是否对两岸的山体地质情况进行详细考察?设计和建造期间为何没有采取加固措施?

Reuters noted the 758-meter bridge in Maerkang had been closed a day earlier after inspectors found shifting terrain and cracked slopes.
