Glenwood Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Pittsburgh, United States
The Glenwood Bridge stretches 2,280 feet across the Monongahela River, featuring a main span of 557 feet with a vertical clearance of 50 feet.
The current structure, opened in 1966, replaced an 1894 iron bridge that served both trolley and vehicle traffic between Pittsburgh and Homestead.
The bridge connects the neighborhoods of Hazelwood and Hays while carrying Pennsylvania Route 885, supporting 19,030 vehicles crossing the river daily.
A rehabilitation project started in March 2024 includes concrete repairs, steel improvements, and drainage modifications with scheduled lane closures until November 2024.
The bridge structure incorporates enlarged panels at piers and features a top chord that curves above the deck, creating a distinct engineering pattern.
