Originally Published 1 year ago — by PBS NewsHour

More than two dozen river barges broke loose from their moorings in Pittsburgh, hitting a bridge and damaging a marina after heavy rains caused flooding. The Sewickly Bridge was struck, and the marina, Peggy’s Harbor, was reported to have sustained damage. Most of the barges were carrying dry cargo, with no hazardous materials, and efforts are underway to salvage the situation. The incident has prompted concerns about the vulnerability of bridges to strikes from barges and ships.
