A temporary bridge on National Highway 314 was put into use Monday after a permanent bridge partially collapsed on April 12 in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, local authorities said Monday.

The collapsed bridge, which was 150 meters long and 24.5 meters wide, spanned the Konqi River in the suburbs of the city of Korla.

The construction of the makeshift bridge began on April 20. The new bridge can bear a maximum weight of 55 metric tons, said a spokesman with the local government.

The average traffic flow over the bridge is 12,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day, the spokesman said.

No casualties were reported in the collapse, but as many as 10,000 vehicles were stranded after the accident.

The previous bridge went into service 13 years ago, but was in poor condition, which eventually led to its collapse, said officials with the Xinjiang Transport Department on April 13.

National Highway 314, with a length of 1,948 kilometers, runs east from Urumqi, the regional capital of Xinjiang, along the souther foot of Mount Tianshan before ending in the city of Kunjirap near the Pakistan-China border.
