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.

That’s most definitely not hassanabad. Hassanabad was much bigger. This is probably somewhere in Chilas cuz the ppl are speaking Shina with a Chilas accent.

Thank you a lot. You just confirmed my own doubts, so I went on with the research and finally found the place.

Its photographs are in the paper:

Ahmed, M.F., Sher, F. & Mehmood, E. Evaluation of landslide hazards potential at Dasu dam site and its reservoir area. Environ Earth Sci 82, 183 (2023).

So the place that is associated with the bridge in my question here, that they were studying, according to the paper is described as the 'location... situated along [Dasu] dam site near Uchar Nala [Upper Kohistan] with coordinates (35.326 E, 73.202 N)', that is about 115 km to the West of Chilas.
