A 400-year-old stone arch bridge was washed away by an overflowing river in eastern China after the heavy rain.<br /><br />The dramatic video, shot in the city of Xuancheng in Anhui Province on July 6, shows a board being placed on the stone arch bridge with a notice saying "The bridge is closed. Please detour."<br /><br />Another clip shows the 150-metre-long, six-metre-wide and nine-metre-high bridge which can date back to the Ming Dynasty suddenly collapsing into the flooded river.<br /><br />The video was provided by local media with permission.
