Jerome Street Bridge, Steel arch bridge in McKeesport, US.
The Jerome Street Bridge features a curved steel structure spanning across the Youghiogheny River with widely spaced ribs at its highest point for load distribution.
Engineer George S. Richardson designed this bridge in 1937 as part of a public works initiative during the Great Depression to improve automobile access.
The structure represents a significant example of American engineering development, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
The bridge underwent a complete rehabilitation in 2022, including deck replacement, concrete repairs, and bearing replacements to ensure continued safe passage.
Initially named Lysle Boulevard Bridge, regulations against memorializing living officeholders with public funds led to its current designation as Jerome Street Bridge.
