At 6:45 PM on August 18, 2025, the pier of the Xiangjiang River Bridge on the Changsha Ring Expressway was engulfed in towering flames, with thick smoke engulfing the entire bridge. Video footage showed black smoke mixed with sparks shooting up to hundreds of meters, turning the dusk red. This fire sent chills down the spines of Changsha residents; this major river-crossing bridge, which handles 100,000 vehicles daily, is a vital transportation artery running north-south.More chillingly, 30 meters below the fire source is the natural gas pipeline corridor supplying gas to one-third of the city's residents. Preliminary analysis suggests that the fire was caused by the scaffolding's protective net and some construction materials catching fire during bridge maintenance painting work. This harrowing half-hour exposed the substandard protective nets and regulatory loopholes.
