Bridges

See also: Pittsburgh bridges

Pittsburgh is a city of bridges: over 2,000 bridges dot the landscape of Allegheny County . The southern entrance to Downtown is through a tunnel and then over the Fort Pitt Bridge.

The Panhandle Bridge, a former railroad bridge, carries the Port Authority's Blue and Red (formerly 42S/47L) subway lines across the Monongahela River. Other notable bridges are Fort Duquesne Bridge, the Liberty Bridge and The Three Sisters.

A comprehensive survey of regional bridges is at Bridges and Tunnels of Allegheny County and Pittsburgh, PA.
