Description

Pittsburgh's Smithfield Street bridge is a lenticular truss bridge crossing the Monongahela River. The present bridge is the third bridge (constructed 1881-83, widened in 1889 and 1911) at the site and remains the oldest steel bridge in the United States.

Sorry to be so late for the party. Happy T-K-W Day!!
