Bailey bridge collapses in Dhobaura, Mymensingh with a sand-laden truck, disrupting road connectivity

A Bailey bridge in Dhobaura, Mymensingh, collapsed over the Kangsha River early Sunday, June 7, 2026, when a sand-laden truck attempted to cross it. The incident, attributed to heavy vehicle traffic on an old structure, left the truck's helper injured and completely severed road communication between Dhobaura and Mymensingh city. Local administration has since built a temporary wooden bridge to restore light transport.
