The bridge that just collapsed in the city of Pittsburgh was set to be restored in 2016. Instead of replacing the completely rusted out supports, they diverted the money to bike lanes, green energy programs and lanes for self driving cars.

Pittsburgh has 446 bridges. The most in the world. Almost 40% of them are currently in poor condition. Meanwhile, over 40 years of democratic leadership has diverted funds to art projects, bike lanes and incentives for Silicon Valley tech companies to headquarter here pic.twitter.com/iPvztb8O91

There’s a website where people can post requests to repair roads and bridges in Pittsburgh. This was posted 3 years ago and listed as “closed.”

A sink hole opened up in the middle of the city and swallowed a port authority bus just a few years ago. The bus remained for weeks pic.twitter.com/53wvZsRrsG

Pennsylvanians pay some of the highest gas taxes in the country, almost $1 a gallon, supposedly to support infrastructure. The infrastructure routinely ranks at the bottom of the country. Before anyone blames it on salt and cold weather, some of the best roads are in South Dakota

There’s more but you can go to Twitter to see the rest.
This is appalling.
