The Gambhira Bridge collapse occurred on 9 July 2025 in Padra, Gujarat, India, resulting in 22 deaths and several injuries. While the official cause of the collapse is under investigation, it is believed to have been caused by a structural failure brought on by a combination of heavy use and inadequ
ate maintenance. The collapse led to an investigation to be launched by Bhupendra Patel, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to pay a compensation of ₹200,000 (US$2,100) for the families of the deceased. Seven days after the accident on 16 July, more than 1,800 bridges across Gujarat had their structures inspected to prevent similar incidents, resulting in the closure of 20 bridges completely and 113 partially for heavy vehicles.
