After years of deferred maintenance needs, the decaying Fern Hollow Bridge finally collapsed in Pittsburgh in January 2022.
The demise of both bridges, including one in battleground state Pennsylvania, will give voters vivid examples of the nation's outdated infrastructure. He supported efforts to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that includes $300 billion for bridges all over the country. Even in Pittsburgh, a year after the Fern Hollow collapse, Scripps News found bridges stuck in startling states of disrepair that had not received funding for upgrades.
"What we have right now is the largest investment in roads and bridges since the Eisenhower administration,” Buttigieg said in an interview last year with Scripps News. “It’s a level of funding that is, frankly, testing how much the American economy can actually absorb.” During his run for president in 2016, Trump supported investing $1 trillion in infrastructure, but that plan did not materialize during his years in office. He has not made a similar pledge ahead of this year’s election.
