In Wake of PA Bridge Collapse, Look Where $4.2 Billion of the Road Repair Fund Was Found

When a bridge in Pittsburgh collapsed Friday, Democrats used it as an illustration of why the Biden administration’s infrastructure plan was a great investment in vital roads and bridges.

But behind the scenes for many years, Pennsylvania Democrat leaders siphoned money away from a fund that was supposed to be doing just that.

On Friday, the Forbes Avenue bridge over Fern Hollow Creek and Tranquil Trail in Pittsburgh collapsed. The bridge had a condition rating of “poor” from the state Department of Transportation, according to CNN.

President Joe Biden, who had come to Pittsburgh to tout in infrastructure spending, used the collapse as a way to bolster his case.

“We are so far behind in infrastructure,” he said, according to Triblive, the website of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “We used to be first.”

“We’re going to fix them all,” he said, speaking of Pittsburgh’s many bridges.
