A judge has ordered a temporary halt to Gov. Tom Wolf’s plan to toll as many as nine major interstate bridges in Pennsylvania

The National Transportation Safety Board team arrived in Pittsburgh Friday night, hours after the bridge collapsed at 6:40 a.m., injuring 10 people and sending several cars and a Port Authority bus careening with it as it crumpled into a ravine in Frick Park.

The collapse of the city-owned Fern Hollow Bridge on Friday has raised concerns about the state of Pennsylvania’s thousands of bridges, nearly 20% percent of which were in poor condition as of a 2018 review by the Pittsburgh section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
