Lane Bane Bridge

Lane Bane Bridge is a steel truss structure that crosses the Monongahela River and connects Brownsville with West Brownsville. It carries US Route 40 with four divided lanes for traffic passing through the region.

The bridge was completed in 1960 as part of the Mon-Fayette Expressway infrastructure development. This construction was a key step in modernizing transportation connections in the Fayette County region.

The Lane Bane Bridge functions as a central connector between communities in Fayette County, enabling daily commutes and strengthening regional connections.

The bridge sits elevated above the valley floor, allowing it to cross the terrain without major deviations. A 3-mile freeway segment extends from its western bank, providing continuous road connections.

The bridge structure maintains a specific elevation to avoid entering the deep valley of the region while spanning 518 feet across its longest section.
