Early on July 9, a section of the decades‑old Gambhira Bridge near Mujpur in Padra taluka, Vadodara collapsed into the Mahisagar River, sending multiple vehicles including trucks and vans, plunging into the waters. In Gambhira bridge collapse photos, the rescue teams pulled nine bodies and several injured from the river, while frantic efforts continue to locate any others. The Gujarat bridge collapse photos showed the disruption of the crucial Vadodara–Anand–Saurashtra corridor and raises urgent questions about infrastructure oversight and maintenance in Gujarat.
