Wabash Bridge, Railroad bridge in Pittsburgh, United States.
The Wabash Bridge extends 1,504 feet across the Monongahela River with a steel cantilever through truss design and stone foundation piers.
Built between 1902 and 1904, the bridge experienced a tragic construction accident in 1903 when its center collapsed, resulting in ten worker casualties.
The bridge represented the industrial expansion of Pittsburgh's railway network, connecting downtown to Mount Washington through the Wabash Tunnel.
The bridge served freight traffic until 1946, when a fire at the terminal led to its decline, followed by dismantlement in 1948.
The steel from the dismantled bridge found new life in the construction of the Dravosburg Bridge, while two original piers remain at the site.
