But I didn't realize there are literally more bridges in Pittsburgh than any other city in the world," Biden said at the collapsed bridge.President Biden visits the site where the Fern Hollow Bridge collapsed Friday, Jan. 28, 2022, in Pittsburgh's East End.Biden promised the crowd that the bridge infrastructure of the city would be addressed, along with all 43,000 bridges in the U.S.
"I knew there were a lot of bridges – I had no idea of that," Biden said of the nationwide total. "And we’re gonna fix them all. It’s not a joke. This is going to be a gigantic change.
