Instead of repairing the bridge with what likely would have been the Obama-era shovel-ready 2009 infrastructure funds for “roads and bridges,” known as the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” the cash went to bike lanes and green boondoggles, and too bad about the actual structure that was decaying and deteriorating. Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg loves those bike lanes. Bridges that stay up? That is for someone else to take care of. And of course, no one did. For local leftwing politicians and federal cash shovelers, it was too attractive to build bike lanes and dedicated lanes, the better for Democrats to show off to all their little lefty friends.
Virtually every infrastructure bill has been like this. The Americans for Prosperity website has a history of these continuous infrastructure bills, all of which left a lot of decaying infrastructure and a lot of greenie gee-whiz idiocies . More
The left destroys everything it touches. This is exactly what to expect from them.
Nothing the Left does is an unintended consequence.
Anyone remember who was put in charge of making sure the funds were properly spent?
It looks like a double bus was on the bridge when it collapsed.
A very very heavy double bus.
Heavy double bus on a weakened bridge is a recipe for the disaster you see.
23F in Pit right now.
Lots of cyclists using it now, eh?
“Heavy double bus on a weakened bridge is a recipe for the disaster you see.”
Normally, it would be. But in this particular case, it’s how you intentionally trigger a bridge collapse just hours before you give a speech to bolster support for a giant infrastructure bill.
In Democrat Land, there are no accidents.

Gov’t speak: Infrastructure = social programs.
It has been that way for as long as all of us have been alive.
If all the money collected in the name of infrastructure went to infrastructure, we’d have bridges made of gold and roads paved with gem stones.
^^^But the politicians have to line their pockets first, that includes BOTH sides of the aisle for those who want to point dirty little fingers.
Too bad Butt-head wasnt under it when it collapsed.
Evil knows not limits with demorats. Bridge collapses as China Joe visits. Great timing.
Knocked a bridge down so poopy pants could yell at us.

10 billion miles of bike lanes in this Godforskaken unionized demtard-run city- no republicans elected to anything in 90 years, but this is their fault, according to wolf-in sheeple’s clothing !!!

They voted them in, therefore you get what you deserve. Enjoy those bike lanes.
BFH, every time I read anything about bike lanes or annoying bicyclists, I think of you and laugh.
@LadyGun12 … me too LOL
Marissa – Is a webcam needed, and is this work done while naked? Asking for a friend.
Even liberals would be suspicious of the timing of the bridge “collapse” just before shit for brains gives a speech on infrastructure.
Wouldn’t they? Nobody would be so stupid to believe it’s a random event. Or would they?
The bridge didn’t ‘collapse’ collapse, cause no one died.
Damn peddlefools.
They get their own lanes but pay no taxes for them.
This is what they should get:
