Pittsburgh bridge collapses ahead of Biden’s visit to talk about infrastructure

A Pittsburgh bridge collapsed Friday morning ahead of President Joe Biden’s scheduled visit to the area to talk about infrastructure.

Pittsburgh Public Safety announced at about 7 a.m. that the bridge, on the outskirts of Frick Park, had collapsed, prompting officials to urge people to stay away from the area due to a “strong smell of natural gas.”

Pittsburgh Public Safety said a gas line had been cut. No injuries had been reported as of 8 a.m.

Biden is due in West Mifflin, 10 miles outside of Pittsburgh, on Friday.
