No injuries were immediately reported, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety, which reported a “confirmed bridge collapse” at around 6:50 a.m. A photo from KDKA shows at least four vehicles, including a Port Authority bus, on the bridge near Forbes and Braddock avenues, which splits the Point Breeze, Regent Square and Squirrel Hill neighborhoods of Pittsburgh. Another vehicle is shown dangling near the edge of the collapsed bridge.
Police, fire and EMS personnel are responding to the collapse.
Public Safety said there was “a strong smell of natural gas in the area.” Nearby homes are being evacuated due to the gas smell, according to KDKA.
“Please avoid if at all possible,” the agency tweeted.
The collapse comes the same day that Biden is visiting Pittsburgh to discuss infrastructure. As part of his trip, the president will visit the research and development hub of Mill 19, which was part of the infrastructure deal passed by Congress last year.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Friday.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

Yup... Looks like they need some ‘infrastructure’.
This is not an accident. Biden needs to prove why he’s spent trillions of dollars.
Oh the irony.
How ‘convenient’............................
No problem, to fix the problem, Sock Puppet Joe will send in an infrastructure social worker, an infrastructure diversity, inclusion, and equity team, and (when he returns from leave for anal fissure repair surgery) DOT secretary Pete Buttplug.
“This is not an accident. Biden needs to prove why he’s spent trillions of dollars”
Yep and this is all the proof I need:
“No injuries were immediately reported”
climate change strikes again....
Oh, and FJB
Maybe it was a "false flaw" event?
That’s not actually irony, Alanis.
If that’s the bridge I think it is, it’s going to be a big mess for a long time. Fairly major artery.
This a twofer. “aging infrastructure” and a leaking natural gas pipeline. Must be Joe’s lucky day.
For added effect: Here is a a translation of what the sign interpreter from the right pane thinks Biden is saying:
"...It's time to have a drink. Drink until you are completely tight. Put your hands on the chest of an underage girl, wash your hands quickly and leave before an irate father cuts your right hand off. Otherwise...you have no chance..."
Is it ironic that most people are not clear as to what it means to be ironic?
I thought Obama fixed all of these already.
Such is the quality of “news reporting” these days.
Dirty cop Wray probably sent an FBI explosives team to blow the supports right on Q. Did a CNN camera truck just happen to be about to cross??
