Three Rivers Heritage Trail
The three identical bridges spanning the Allegheny River are the only known example of a triple set of bridges constructed side-by-side across a major river. They were built between 1926 and 1928 when the War Department ruled that bridges over Pittsburgh's rivers had to be high enough not to interfere with river commerce in steel, coal and war materials during times of war.HM Number | HM1ER3 |
