President Joe Biden will proceed with his planned trip to Pittsburgh on Friday to talk about strengthening the nation's infrastructure hours after a bridge collapsed not far from where he is scheduled to deliver remarks, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.
The White House is in touch with state and local officials on the ground, Psaki said in a tweet, following the collapse of a snow-covered bridge that officials say left several people injured.
