W.D. Mansfield Memorial Bridge, Cantilever truss bridge in McKeesport, United States.
Description
The W.D. Mansfield Memorial Bridge is a cantilever truss structure crossing the Monongahela River between McKeesport and Dravosburg. The bridge provides four vehicle lanes plus dedicated pedestrian walkways on both sides.
History
The structure was completed in 1951 to replace an earlier low-level crossing built in 1889 that served the same purpose. Steel from another bridge demolished in 1948 was reused in this new construction.
Culture
The bridge carries the name of William D. Mansfield, a local official who held significant public roles in the region. His name represents the civic importance of this river crossing.
Practical
The bridge accommodates steady vehicle traffic and is designed to handle the weather patterns common to the region. Pedestrians have designated pathways that provide safe passage across the span.
Did you know?
Steel from a bridge demolished a few years before was cleverly reused in this structure's construction. This recycled material became part of the final design and continues to support crossings today.
