Hell may have frozen over.
Not only did a bipartisan infrastructure bill pass through Congress, giving President Joe Biden a much-needed win, but with it came real, actual, non-pipe dream talk about the Brent Spence Bridge. Or, rather, a potential additional bridge to help ease the notorious bottleneck that spans the Ohio River.
Months ago, during a town hall at Mount St. Joseph University, Biden touted an infrastructure bill that would "fix that damned bridge."

Now that it seems the long-awaited "Infrastructure Week" might actually happen, billions of dollars could find their way into making a new bridge a reality.
Even Mitch McConnell said he was "delighted" at the passage of the bill and the prospect of a new bridge.
And if that isn't enough proof that hell has frozen over, I don't know what is.
