Schenley Bridge, Historic road bridge in Pittsburgh, United States.
The Schenley Bridge spans 620 feet across Junction Hollow, rising 120 feet above the valley to connect Oakland with Schenley Park in Pittsburgh.
Completed in 1897, the steel three-hinged deck arch bridge replaced an earlier temporary wooden structure that raised safety concerns during large public gatherings.
The bridge links important cultural institutions, including Carnegie Institute, Frick Fine Arts Building, and Phipps Conservatory, serving as a gateway to educational spaces.
Vehicles and pedestrians can access the bridge from Schenley Drive, connecting the western Oakland district to the eastern section of Schenley Park.
The structure features steel engineering techniques from the late 19th century, demonstrating the transition from wooden to metal bridge construction in urban development.
