REVIEWS ARE UNDERWAY FOR 5 BRIDGES ACROSS PA THAT HAVE THE SAME STRUCTURAL DESIGN AS THE ONE THAT COLLAPSED IN PITTSBURGH LAST WEEK.
AN ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT STATES THAT THREE BRIDGES IN WESTERN PA AND TWO IN EASTERN PA ARE UNDER INTENSE REVIEW BECAUSE THEY HAVE SIMILAR CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN AS THE FORBES AVENUE BRIDGE THAT CRUMBLED TO THE GROUND LAST FRIDAY, JUST AS PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS TO VISIT PITTSBURGH TO PUSH HIS INFRASTRUCTURE BILL. THE 5 BRIDGES CURRENTLY HAVE A RATING OF FAIR OR BETTER, WHICH IS BETTER THAN THE POOR RATING THE FORBES AVNUE BRIDGE RECEIVED DURING ITS LAST REVIEW.
