President Joe Biden was in Pittsburgh yesterday touting the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Biden returned to the Fern Hollow Bridge, where he visited just hours after its collapse back in January.
“When I was here in January I told the Governor that we would help rebuild this bridge as fast as we possibly could. That day the Governor signed an emergency order to let us move separate federal funding as quickly as possible to this project,” Biden said.
Biden said the $25 million project is being funded entirely by the federal government.
“Pennsylvania has been able to repair the Fern Hollow Bridge in less than a year. And by Christmas God-willing, we’ll be walking across it,” Biden said. “I’m coming back to walk over this sucker.”
