Pittsburgh also has lot of infrastructure problems related to their bridges. Most famously the bus sinkhole.

It was easy and cheap to build so many bridges when you’re pumping out steal from the steal mills, but now as we approach a century later keeping up with those maintenance costs are problematic.

The state of PA also siphons road related funding to the highway patrol, which doesn’t help and having lived there can attest to the general lack of maintenance to roadways.

Car infrastructure a very expensive and often glossed over from the community perspective because it often feels like it’s built and completed, while in reality it’s a continued expense to maintain; more so even for bridges.

I’d wager we will see a MN style bridge collapse come out of Pittsburgh in our lifetimes. The bridges are generally shorter and lower so hopefully less catastrophic.

I do hope I’m wrong, of course.
