The bridge that collapsed in Pittsburgh Jan. 28 showed deterioration during a September inspection that was not bad enough to require its closure, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said Jan. 31.
The agency will not release the full inspection report, PennDOT spokesperson Alexis Campbell said, citing state and federal laws and the ongoing investigation into the failure of the Forbes Avenue bridge over Fern Hollow Creek in Frick Park.
Campbell did provide some details about the inspection four months ago, including that there has been a 26-ton posted weight limit on the bridge since 2014.
