The relevant authorities stated that the preliminary analysis of the collapse was caused by the recent flooding of the pier base. The future of the ancient bridge is to maintain the original maintenance or dismantling reconstruction, the relevant departments are organizing experts to demonstrate.
The middle part of the ancient bridge pier collapsed in the night
Early in the morning yesterday, for some Huayang residents accustomed to living in Hedong and shopping for vegetables in Hexi, crossing rivers became inconvenient. The Tongji Bridge, which crosses the river east and west across the Fuhe River, was put on a cordon and prohibited passage. Looking from afar, one of the six piers in the river waters collapsed, and the other revealed nearly 10 centimeters wide cracks. Only the stone carvings on the bridge's mouth were preserved. In the adjacent arch, nearly one-third of the area's inner wall collapsed, but there was no significant damage to the deck. More than 10 pieces of rock are still clearly visible on the river beach that is more than 10 meters downstream from the arch bridge.
“The loud noise of the bridge pier collapsed.†The owner of the bridge’s tea shop remembered clearly that the sound of falling heavy water from the river surface had passed from 8:00 pm the night before yesterday. Most riverside residents at both ends of the arch bridge heard this noise. Master Chen, a resident of Xiehe Street, said that he was uneasy from hearing the noise. It was not until yesterday morning that he discovered that the bridge pier had been washed away by water.
Some residents claimed that the bridge had a second pier from west to east. There had been cracks in the past two or three months before, but at that time the bridge pier was not tilted. The third pier that collapsed appeared to have been breached by a stream of water with “almost no sign†and the inner wall of the arch above it collapsed.
The 185-year-old bridge has been busy
It is understood that Tongji Bridge was built in Qing Daoguang for five years (1825). It was originally a seven-hole stone arch bridge, but the eastern end of the first hole was destroyed. The bridge is one of the most traditional traditional stone arch bridges in the western Sichuan Plain. In May 2003, the bridge was approved by the Shuangliu County People's Government as the Shuangliu County Heritage Protection Unit. In 2006, relevant departments had implemented reinforcement and maintenance of the bridge.
For this 185-year old bridge, local residents, especially some elderly residents, have deep feelings. Aunt Zhao, who is in her 70s, said that she lived in Hexi and she liked to walk through Tongji Bridge from her childhood to Huayang’s rush. It was once the main road of a busy city. “The sculpture on the bridge is beautiful. We have also painted according to it.†According to another old man, in the early summer, in the early summer, there were always some naughty boys who jumped violently from high places on the bridge. Bathe in the river water.
In recent years, the Old Bridge was protected after being repaired many times. Only pedestrians and non-motor vehicles are allowed to pass through, but people are still coming and going. Due to the fact that there is a food market in the west of the bridge, many residents rush to buy food from the bridge across the river in the east, and when they pass through Tongji Bridge, they will stop on the bridge. “It's a pity that this time the bridge pier was washed, and the old bridge must be overhauled.†Some residents hope that they will retain the original appearance of the ancient bridge.
Maintenance or reconstruction remains to be demonstrated
Yesterday, the relevant departments have built brick walls on the east and west sides of the Tongji Bridge, and set warning signs to prohibit pedestrians from passing.
A person in charge of the Shuangliu County Cultural Tourism Administration said that after learning of the partial collapse of the bridge pier and the bridge tunnel, the bureau’s staff, including the urban management, construction, and safety supervision departments, all rushed to the scene to investigate and handle the incident. The preliminary investigation opinion is that the collapse occurred due to the flooding of the pier of the bridge pier.
According to reports, the Shuangliu County Bureau of Culture and Tourism will report the situation to higher-level cultural relics protection units, and organize experts in construction and bridges to conduct on-site inspections and demonstrations. After considering the opinions of the comprehensive transportation and construction departments, they will decide whether to proceed with maintenance or reconstruction. .
