Fort Pitt Bridge, Road bridge in Pittsburgh, United States
The Fort Pitt Bridge spans the Monongahela River with two decks of steel construction, connecting downtown Pittsburgh with Interstate 376 through its bowstring arch design.
Opened in 1959 as a replacement for the Point Bridge, this structure marked a technical milestone as the first bridge designed using computer calculations.
The bridge appears in multiple films and media productions, including Led Zeppelin's documentary and The Perks of Being a Wallflower movie.
The lower deck requires drivers to navigate across multiple lanes within 700 feet, making it necessary to plan lane changes before reaching the exits.
When drivers emerge from the Fort Pitt Tunnel onto the bridge, they experience a direct view of Pittsburgh's downtown district framed by the steel arches.
