In response to the collapse of the Fern Hollow Bridge and growing national challenges of degrading infrastructure, @Mach9Robotics (S21) is launching an initiative to inspect the ~450 bridges in the Pittsburgh area over the next year. From @alexbaikovitz: medium.com/mach9-robotics…

@905wesa @MargaretKrauss Our team at Mach9 is working to help find the answer. Here's a laser scan we created from the observation area with one of the CUBEs that's going to monitor the nearly 450 bridges in Pittsburgh dev-cloud.mach9.io/share/fernholl…

After the loss of the Fern Hollow Bridge, questions and speculation about what could have caused its collapse have abounded, and for understandable reasons: There are more than 400 bridges in Pittsburgh alone. @MargaretKrauss has what we know so far wesa.fm/development-tr…

Curious what the collapsed Fern Hollow Bridge looks like now that the observation area is closed? Check out a 3D model that our team at @Mach9Robotics created earlier this week: dev-cloud.mach9.io/share/fernholl… @NTSB @PennDOTNews @Pittsburgh @USDOT @Esri @PittsburghPG

Today @MayorEdGainey & Councilman @CoreyOConnorPGH announced legislation to establish The Commission on Infrastructure Asset Reporting and Investment, which will advise on best practices for both short- and long-term investment of major City-maintained infrastructure assets.

We were stunned to hear about the collapse of Fern Hollow Bridge on Friday and look forward to being a part of the solution. Mach9 is launching the Pittsburgh Bridge Initiative to inspect the near 450 bridges in our backyard. Check out more here link.medium.com/ECy6LBs1gnb
