Homestead Grays Bridge
Homestead Grays Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Pittsburgh, United States
The Homestead Grays Bridge is a steel truss bridge crossing the Monongahela River and connecting Pittsburgh's neighborhoods with Homestead Borough. It serves as a major transportation link for cars and pedestrians between these two areas.
The bridge was built in 1936 and replaced an older structure from 1897 as part of regional infrastructure improvements. It was constructed during a period of economic recovery following the Great Depression.
The bridge was named in 2002 after a baseball team that was created by local steelworkers and played an important role in the community. The name reflects the strong connection between sports and the industrial life of the area.
The crossing is easily accessible during daylight hours and features wide pedestrian walkways and spacious traffic lanes for vehicles. The best time to cross is outside rush hours when traffic is lighter.
The bridge uses the Wichert Truss system, a special construction method that employs quadrilateral shapes over the supports. This technical solution allowed for better structural calculations when the bridge was built.
