A lot of our bridges have been inspected, repaired or rebuilt in the last 13 years.
He should have seen Allegheny County back when the I-35W bridge collapsed in Minneapolis in 2007 or thereabouts. We had at least 10 bridges that were as bad as the one in Minneapolis. That collapse put the fear of God in the bridge inspectors in Pittsburgh. Everything went on the front-burner after that disaster.
For those who don't realize it, we have more bridges per square mile in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County than just about anywhere in the US. Inspecting and repairing bridges is a major big deal here, and it had been neglected for way too long.
