Apparently a road should be more than asphalt on top of a pile of dirt.

Newly opened bridge collapses in Vietnam, swallowing vehicles into chasm

A section of a newly inaugurated bridge in Tay Ninh Province collapsed on Sunday, just two weeks after its opening, sending vehicles plunging into a three-meter-deep chasm and leaving multiple people injured.

Interesting use of the word "chasm" for a 3m hole in the road.

Nice land slip so they clearly didn't do a good job there compacting the fill or maybe didn't look at the GI for rather wet fields under them.

That's a fantastic illustration of an embankment slope stability problem. Wow.
