President Biden on Thursday will return to the site of a major bridge collapse in Pittsburgh to highlight investments through the bipartisan infrastructure law that are helping to improve bridges in disrepair nationwide.

Biden will speak at the Fern Hollow Bridge in the city’s East End neighborhood, a White House official said. The 52-year-old bridge collapsed in January, injuring roughly a dozen people and illustrating how many of the city’s hundreds of bridges were crumbling and in need of upgrades.

More than 21,000 vehicles crossed the bridge each day prior to its collapse. It is expected to reopen by early 2023.
