Homestead Grays Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Pittsburgh, United States
The Homestead Grays Bridge extends 3,750 feet across the Monongahela River, connecting Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood with Homestead Borough.
Constructed in 1936 during the economic recovery period, this bridge replaced the 1897 Brown's Bridge to improve transportation infrastructure in the region.
In 2002, the bridge received its current name to honor the Homestead Grays baseball team, founded by steelworkers in 1912.
The 2006 rehabilitation project widened traffic lanes by six feet and installed broader pedestrian walkways to accommodate increased traffic flow.
The bridge features the Wichert Truss design, patented in 1930, which employs quadrilateral shapes over supports for enhanced structural calculations.
