“A viral video showing a shaking bridge with a collapsed joint is from Bihar”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is from the Nabadwip Gaurang Setu in West Bengal and was recorded on 3 October 2024, when large cracks appeared, prompting inspections and traffic restrictions. This bridge, connecting Nadia and Burdwan, faced similar issues in 2021. Though Bihar witnessed several bridge collapses in mid-2024 due to heavy rains, raising concerns about infrastructure safety, this video has nothing to do with Bihar
