West End Bridge, Road bridge across Ohio River in Pittsburgh, United States
The West End Bridge extends 1,310 feet over the Ohio River with four traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways connecting the West End to the North Side.
Completed in 1932 at a cost of 3.64 million dollars, the bridge stood as the longest tied-arch structure in the world during its inauguration period.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized the bridge in 1979 for its engineering achievements and contribution to Pittsburgh's transportation network.
The steel structure carries US 192 traffic and provides a direct route between Pittsburgh neighborhoods while offering views of the downtown skyline.
Henry Tranter, known as the Father of the West End Bridge, initiated the bridge concept in 1912 and persistently advocated for its construction.
