Panhandle Bridge, Railway bridge in Pittsburgh, United States
The Panhandle Bridge spans the Monongahela River with two rail tracks carrying the Port Authority T line through downtown Pittsburgh.
Built in 1903 by Pennsylvania Railroad, this steel structure became the third railroad bridge constructed at this location since 1863.
The bridge derives its name from the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad, which operated the Panhandle Route through Pennsylvania.
Three light rail lines - Blue, Red, and Silver - utilize this bridge daily to transport passengers between downtown Pittsburgh and southern neighborhoods.
Between 1912 and 1914, engineers raised the entire bridge structure as part of a comprehensive grade separation project for the city.
