A massive fire under the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, which connects Cincinnati, Ohio, and Newport, Kentucky, forced the closure of its southbound lanes. The fire, originating from a playground at Sawyer Point Park, caused significant structural damage, prompting emergency repairs expected to take weeks. The closure has disrupted traffic, with authorities suggesting detours via the Brent Spence Bridge and the Combs-Hehl Bridge. No injuries were reported, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation. In addition to this incident, other fires across different locations have also led to severe traffic disruptions, including a fire in Wayne, New Jersey, and a large fire at a Joliet scrapyard.
