U.S. Senate hopeful and Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. JohnFetterman called the Pittsburgh bridge collapse the 'latest in a long line of preventable, man-made disasters that prove... our infrastructure is failing our people.'
that "it's surreal to see a bridge you've driven over thousands of times just collapse 60 feet below into the park where people could've been walking."
"Thank God that school buses were delayed due to weather, so there was less traffic than normal," he said in his statement."Thank God there have been no casualties reported at this point. I wish all of those who were injured a safe and swift recovery." Fetterman's statement pointed to the disatster as proof of"why infrastructure bills like the one President Biden signed into law last year are so important."
"Too often, D.C. politics can feel like insider baseball—and Pennsylvanians are left wondering how abstract legislation helps them," he continued."But here, the answer is clear. As a result of Biden's infrastructure bill, the state is now getting $1.6 billion to repair bridges like this one." "Now more than ever, we need to get to work. We need to make use of the legislation President Biden ushered in, rebuild our roads and bridges, and fix our faulty infrastructure," Fetterman added."In Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, and across America, we cannot afford neglect any longer. It's time to rebuild this nation."
