McKeesport-Duquesne Bridge, Truss road bridge in Allegheny County, United States
The McKeesport-Duquesne Bridge spans the Monongahela River with a length of 2,252 feet and connects Route 837 in Duquesne with Route 148 in McKeesport.
The construction of this bridge in 1928 replaced the Riverton Bridge, which had been dismantled in 1915 due to safety concerns.
Multiple railroad companies, including Pennsylvania Railroad and Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, contributed substantial funds to construct this vital transportation connection in the region.
The bridge features a 38-foot wide roadway with two lanes for vehicles and includes 11-foot sidewalks on both sides for pedestrian access.
The structure incorporates three Parker through trusses and five Pratt through trusses, with a main span extending 382 feet over the Monongahela River.
