Manchester Bridge, Pratt truss bridge in Pittsburgh, United States
The Manchester Bridge spans across the Monongahela River, connecting downtown Pittsburgh with the southern neighborhoods through its steel structure and dual carriageway.
Constructed in 1915, the Manchester Bridge represented a significant infrastructure development during Pittsburgh's industrial growth as a steel manufacturing center.
The bridge stands as part of Pittsburgh's network of 446 bridges, contributing to the city's designation as the Bridge Capital of America.
Regular maintenance ensures the bridge supports thousands of vehicles daily, providing essential access between residential areas and Pittsburgh's commercial district.
The bridge incorporates distinctive Pratt truss engineering principles, featuring diagonal members that work in tension to distribute loads effectively across its span.
