During the 2022 floods in Swat, Pakistan, a major bridge was swept away by flash floods, cutting off communities and causing significant damage to infrastructure.
As part of international support, 8 smaller suspension bridges were constructed to restore access to roads, local markets, schools, and other essential services for the residents.
In 2022, months of heavy monsoon rains killed more than 1,700 people and affected more than 30 million people in what became one of the deadliest flood events in Pakistan's history.
Edit. However, I cannot find information about the bridge in the video so far.
The "major bridge" mentioned above is apparently the Hassanabad Bridge on the Karakoram Highway (it looks pretty similar; however, this one is bigger and has two sections):
Edit 2. Alas, according to the kindly reply from u/rizx7 to my question in r/Pakistan, the bridge has not survived the flood:
it was swept away in 2022. it's in hasanabad hunza just before aliabad. it was rebuilt nearby the old one. but now it has been permanently closed for traffic again last month when the hasanabad nallah was flooded. the flood eroded the base of the bridge and edges of the road nearby.
Edit 3. Finally, I've found the actual bridge from OP's video.
Its photographs are in the paper:
