Part of a bridge collapsed on Sunday along a ring road in Patras, Greece's third-largest city, killing one person and injuring eight, the fire brigade said.
Footage from Greek media showed part of the bridge was reduced to a mass of broken concrete slabs and iron rods and dozens of rescuers were working at the spot.
Fire department spokesman Vassilis Vathrakogiannis said traffic had been closed on the bridge since July 20 "due to demolition work for the reconstruction of the lower crossing."
It's not immediately what caused Sunday's collapse.
The bridge had stability problems that were known to the authorities, local television ERT reported citing Efthymios Lekkas, president of the Earthquake Protection Organization OASP.
