Senator Robert D. Fleming Bridge, Truss road bridge connecting Pittsburgh and Sharpsburg, United States.
The Senator Robert D. Fleming Bridge spans the Allegheny River with four traffic lanes and features a metal cantilever design with Warren deck truss configuration.
Built by the American Bridge Company of New York, the structure opened on July 1, 1962, replacing a previous wooden bridge from 1856 and metal bridge from 1901.
Named after Robert D. Fleming, a Pennsylvania state senator who served as President Pro Tempore and represented Pittsburgh's northeastern suburbs from 1950 to 1970.
The bridge extends 2,106 feet in length, provides 51 feet of clearance above water, and connects with 62nd Street at Butler Street and PA28 highway.
In 1981, a warehouse fire caused a 200-foot section of the bridge to buckle, leading to repairs that kept the structure closed until January 1983.
