It happens at the transition to the "bridge" level. The suggested solution is to load an earlier saved game (or restart the chapter):

The "fade to black" is similar to what happens if you lose the buggy (eg drive it off a cliff), so it may have something to do with where you park the buggy before going to the bridge.

Ill restart the chapter.

It worked. Thanks Dude. i owe you one.

You're welcome.
It's a good idea to keep several different saved games as you play. Some players also experience a bug in chapters 10/11 that has the same reload/restart solution.

Ok

I think is because when you fall of from the mountain you died and appears a black screen, so in the bridge when you are in the door the game think you fall of from the mountain

Sorry my bad english

Exactly. I have referred other players with the problem to this discussion - it's better than having to repeat the same answers over and over again.
It's a shame the OP deleted the screenshots showing the location of the bug.

Same issue here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/220/discussions/0/846943418813941233/
The solution there is to use cheats to get to the map.

EDIT:
Found another thread about this issue:
https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/136611/is-the-8th-episode-bugged-and-inaccessible

It seems like that there is a problem with the savefiles, not the gamefiles.

I have a solution for this problem:
Noclip to the end of the bridge then spawn a buggy with the command "impulse 82" the load trigger in the tunnel should then load

The "fade to black" is similar to what happens if you lose the buggy (eg drive it off a cliff), so it may have something to do with where you park the buggy before going to the bridge.

I'm having this problem when I open the door to start messing around on the bridge right now, so the bug is definitely still crawling around. I've tried going to a previous save, but that didn't work. I tried going back to a previous save and moving the buggy, which is nowhere near the edge of anything and is in no danger of falling, but I'moved it anyway. The bug still happened. I don't think I could stand starting the entire level all over again. The bug might happen again anyway. I'll keep looking for a better solution.

More recent discussions will also suggest using the developer console command:
restart

It is similar to starting a New Game, but puts you at the start of the current map you are playing rather than the start of a chapter.

Note that these two methods will reset any progress toward "counted" achievements (One Man Army, Bug Hunt, Counter-Sniper, Atomizer, Hack Attack!).
Use a save file if you want to keep your progress from the current playthrough.

Okay, thanks. So if I just save the current game before I do the "restart" thing it will not wipe out my saved games? I haven't gotten any of the One Man Army, Bug Hunt, Counter-Sniper, Atomizer, Hack Attack! achievements yet. So restarting will not have an effect on the achievements I do have, right?
