中国西北部新疆一座悬索桥坍塌事故调查显示，施工缺陷和安全违规是致5死24伤的主要原因，当局周三公布报告，11人被移交司法机关。事故发生在2025年8月6日伊犁哈萨克自治州昭苏县一景区，主缆断裂导致桥梁倾覆。报告强调桥梁未按设计建造，维修也违规。
调查人员发现，该桥梁未按设计图纸建造，使用滑轮代替缆索座，导致结构缺陷。随后两次维修也未遵循基本施工程序，主缆长期摩擦和反复弯曲造成严重磨损和疲劳，最终断裂。经济直接损失约2031.5万元人民币（约298万美元）。
事故发生时，桥上约120名游客，远低于设计承载量2500人。尽管有目击者称游客摇晃桥梁，但报告确认直接原因是工程缺陷，而非游客行为。
结果，11人被移交司法调查。5名公司员工和22名政府官员受到党纪政务处分。包括昭苏县旅游服务中心有限公司在内的5家生产经营主体被依法处罚。12个监管部门和单位，包括昭苏景区管理委员会，被要求向上级提交深刻检查。
