Piece of Philadelphia's 25th Street Bridge Falls to Street

[onehandle]

Philadelphians were already jittery about the city’s aging infrastructure after a recent train derailment over the Schuylkill exposed the potential dangers of oil cars transiting the city. Now, it appears that a train bridge over 25th Street in Grays Ferry is also having problems—with pieces of the bridge crumbling onto the street below.

1. SEPTA is a joke!

In fairness it's not just that agency but the state's refusal to invest in infrastructure over all. Now they want to "privatize" the state's bridges, some hair-brained republican scheme to enrich their cronies in the construction and banking industries. The walls are tumblin' down!

3. The old South St bridge was an adventure.

You avoided looking down when walking or driving across, and didn't look up when driving underneath.

4. My apologies to the backward Philadelphia area transit agency!

This was the CSX viaduct that runs down 25th St. Shame on CSX!
