Just hours before President Joe Biden was set to arrive in Pittsburgh to deliver a major speech touting his still unrealized overhaul of the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, the city’s Frick Park Bridge collapsed, sending several people to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted on Friday morning that President Biden had been notified of the bridge collapse, and “will proceed with trip planned for today” while “stay[ing] in touch with officials on the ground about additional assistance we can provide.”
