Article regarding the collapse with some details on the timeline of the bridge's relocation. Translated: "Finally, it was reported that the name Yanango bridge was given because the metallic structures of this bridge were dismantled from the Yanango sector (San Ramón-Chanchamayo), where it served as a provisional bridge after the original bridge collapsed in 2005; The efforts and budgets for the construction of this bridge over the Satipo River date back to 2018, during the administration of former mayor Teodulo Santos Arana; Due to inexplicable factors, the start of this work was extended until 2021."
