New Delhi, India (CNN) -- A pedestrian bridge under construction for next month's Commonwealth Games here collapsed Tuesday, adding to concerns raised about India's preparedness for the international sporting event.
At least 24 people were injured in the accident, three critically, said New Delhi police spokesman Rajan Bhagat.
The bridge near Jawarharlal Nehru Stadium came down while workers were laying a concrete slab, said Rakesh Mishra, engineer-in-chief for New Delhi's Public Works Department.
Designed as a pathway from a parking area to the stadium, the bridge was scheduled for completion this week. The games, hosted for the first time by the Commonwealth's most populous nation, begin October 3.
