Original Note:
This article has nothing to do with the Philly bridge collapse. Funds were indeed diverted from other projects in 2014-2017. However, the collapsed bridge was still funded and built in 2015/16. The bridge collapsed because 8500 gallons of gasoline exploded underneath it. https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/lehigh-county/2019/04/42-billion-diverted-from-penndot-road-and-bridge-repairs-to-fund-state-police-new-audit-reveals.html. https://www.inquirer.com/news/live/i95-collapse-philadelphia-bridge-fire-map-news-update-20230612.html.
