South Tenth Street Bridge
South Tenth Street Bridge, Suspension bridge in Downtown Pittsburgh, United States.
The South Tenth Street Bridge spans 1,275 feet across the Monongahela River with two main cables measuring 13 inches in diameter anchored in concrete vaults.
The bridge opened in 1933 after replacing previous wooden and steel structures, marking a significant advancement in Pittsburgh's transportation infrastructure during the early 20th century.
The bridge received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 for its Streamline Moderne architectural style and engineering significance.
Daily traffic counts show approximately 17,500 vehicles crossing this four-lane bridge, connecting Second Avenue with South Tenth Street across the Monongahela River.
Four painted figures of geese, created by artist Tim Kaulen, stand six feet tall at the top of the south tower, adding an unexpected artistic element.
