“This bipartisan infrastructure law is critical,” Gainey said. “At the end of the day it’s critical that we get this funding.”
Added Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who said he drove over the bridge just Thursday: “I hope it’s a wake-up call to the nation that we need to make these critical investments.”

People won't get this joke unless they read the article in the OP.

That's Fricked up...or I guess down.

I mean I don't disagree with spending money on concrete and steel for infrastructure. The problem is a very small amount goes to actual infrastructure and the rest goes to some equity bull shite programs based on race and gender.
Actual capital spent on infrastructure is a good investment. It provides physical assets for towns and cities to grow.

Always makes me laugh when these career fricktard politicians say NOW IS THE TIME TO FINALLY ACT.
Hey, Joe, you've been in office since Richard fricking Nixon.
Couldn't throw out the notion for more bridge inspectors over the past oh, 30-40-50 years? Too busy renaming schools after folks?

For real. They keep passing special transportation taxes here just to do the basic things our “regular” taxes are meant for.

This is why we need to get rid of bridge weight restrictions!!!!!!

My prediction and from looking at the picture, this will be like the Minneapolis Bridge issue on I-35. The contractor stored too much equipment on the bridge while doing repairs.

Hopefully we can find some racially diverse engineering company to go in and redesign it and rebuild it so we can spread that equity around...

Call me when a major interstate bridge like I-85 collapses. Amateurs.

Didn't Brandon tweet just this week that eliminating bridge weight restrictions would ease supply chain issues?

That's what makes it odd. Only has average traffic for the city of Pittsburgh, it's an artery to avoid tunnels. Built in 1970 so isn't super old. Collapsed early on a friday before 7 am. All injuries were minor. Inspected just this past September. The biggest being the President* making a speech about his infrastructure bill that is filled with pork the same day in the city this happened. Just seems extremely fishy.

A closure of several years, my lily white rump.
Call the Canadians, you remember, the guys who do this for a living. The ones who got I-10 reopened after Katrina. This is a little bitty bridge compared to the I-10 spans.
Our boat was at that marina, and I got to talk to some of the bridge guys. They travel all over the world keeping the roads open.
Heck, back when the Army had Engineers, they could have cobbled something together out of steel city parts (Pittsburg having been THE steel city at one time.)
A good story, as well about the people who helped the three people on the bus get off.

It's done like this in NOLA.
You form a minority owned or woman own engineering "firm" (that usually consists of 2 or 3 employees), they are awarded the work and then they subcontract predominantly white male run engineering firms to do the hard work.

PennDOT is awful up here. There was a tiny bridge over a creek that I would sometimes take as an alternate route to work and they had that closed for reconstruction for a little over 2 years.
They've taken over two years to add a dogleg to I79 from the airport. Of course they got that done quicker because it's an expensive arse toll road. I-79 is still not cleaned up and they probably won't have it totally cleaned up until October. They say May but they are always wrong with their estimates.

That's when those PVC pipes that were stored under the bridge and "caught" fire, right? Obviously the burning fire got hot enough to weaken the pre stressed steel in the beams and they failed.

Any speculation why the bridge collapsed yet? Bridge pile erosion? Heaving? Combo of both?
