Bridge in Pittsburgh collapses just ahead of Biden visit touting infrastructure bill

No injuries were immediately reported, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety. A photo from KDKA shows at least four vehicles, including a Port Authority bus, on the bridge.

A bridge in Pittsburgh collapsed hours before U.S. President Joe Biden was due to arrive in the former steel city to highlight his efforts to strengthen the country's infrastructure https://t.co/xSMQIRe9sR pic.twitter.com/j3WIwqlTRl

Stories about the collapse are saying ten people were injured but fortunately there are no fatalities being reported. The collapse will certainly be mentioned in Biden’s speech.

Umm…if you weren't a conspiracy theorist before…

It collapsed almost as dramatically as Biden’s poll numbers.

Ouch!

It’s also been noticed that this particular bridge had been brought to the attention of authorities back in 2018:

I'm guessing they never got around to that service request in 2018? https://t.co/dXSz44Uv5t

Since it appears the problems were reported in 2018 do you think Biden will blame Trump for the collapse in his speech today? We wouldn’t be shocked in the least.
