A magnitude 5.7 earthquake shook the city, damaging part of a major bridge and triggering immediate safety inspections. Engineers later confirmed the bridge’s core structure remained intact, with damage limited mainly to the outer concrete layer protecting the steel framework. Authorities quickly closed the bridge, redirected traffic, and prevented injuries through rapid emergency response efforts. Experts warned that exposed steel must be repaired quickly to avoid long-term weakening from corrosion. The quake also revealed strain on several older structures, renewing calls for stronger seismic retrofitting and infrastructure upgrades. City officials now plan expanded inspections, repairs, and long-term safety improvements to better prepare for future earthquakes.
