U.S. President Biden planned to go to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 28, local time, to talk about infrastructure, but just hours before his arrival, the local bridge collapsed.

Regarding the site of Biden's visit, the US Consumer News and Business Channel said it was a temporary arrangement. "Today we saw that when a bridge is in disrepair, it can really endanger life," the report said, as Biden gave an example in his speech at the local Carnegie Mellon University Factory 19, which is far from the site of the bridge collapse. Just a few miles.

"In Pennsylvania, there are 3,300 bridges that are as old and as dilapidated as that bridge," Biden said in his speech, "[while the United States] has 45,000 bridges in poor condition across the country." "Editor / Xu Shengpeng
