October 20, 2022 - Pittsburgh, PA
Governor Tom Wolf joined President Biden at the Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh to highlight the importance of investing in infrastructure and the impacts of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law on Pennsylvania's transportation network. The Fern Hollow Bridge, which is owned by the City of Pittsburgh and carries Forbes Avenue over Frick Park, Fern Hollow Creek and Tranquil Trail, collapsed on the morning of January 28, 2022. The cause of the collapse is still under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). "The collapse of the Fern Hollow Bridge was a visceral reminder that Pennsylvania, like many states, is in a race against time to repair aging infrastructure," said Gov. Wolf. "This problem isn't unique to our state, but we need solutions urgently - because our communities deserve to know that they can rely on the safety of the bridges, roads and other infrastructure they use every single day."List of Speakers:President Joseph Biden
