Drexel Engineering Professor Warns That West Philly Bridge Could Kill - NBC10

March 21, 2013

Dr. Joseph Martin, a Drexel University engineering professor who teaches both on-campus and online courses, recently commented on the dangers of the 52nd Street Bridge in Philadelphia.

Calling it a “threat to the public,” Martin inspected the bridge five years ago after residents started complaining about parts falling from it. Shortly after his inspection, Amtrak made repairs. However, the bridge still had issues even after that.

Listen to the video below to hear Martin’s full interview with NBC10’s Harry Hairston on the 52nd Street Bridge.
