This clip is from Nov 2021 and is not about the bridge in Baltimore https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/11/08/press-briefing-by-principal-deputy-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-and-secretary-of-transportation-pete-buttigieg/ Buttigieg is referring to the works of urban planner Robert Moses. The book “The Power Broker” portrays him as a racist who purposely lowered overpasses. Whether this was for racist reasons is debated. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/11/10/robert-moses-saga-racist-parkway-bridges/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_Broker
