not collapse, it had to be temporarily closed and
modified to enhance its stability. These incidents
provided engineers with valuable insights into how
natural forces and human activity affect bridge
performance. Today, bridge design involves more
detailed planning, advanced testing, and continuous
monitoring to minimise the risk of structural failure.
