Jonathon Hulton Bridge, Girder bridge in Oakmont, United States
Description
The Jonathon Hulton Bridge is a road bridge crossing the Allegheny River between Oakmont and Harmar Township. The structure accommodates four traffic lanes and includes pedestrian walkways on both sides.
History
The original bridge was built in 1908 by the American Bridge Company and replaced a ferry service operated by the Hulton family. A 1989 legislative action temporarily renamed it after a state representative before the original name was restored.
Culture
In 1989, a legislative decision temporarily renamed the structure to honor Pennsylvania Representative Joseph F. Bonetto before reverting to its original designation.
Practical
The bridge provides a straightforward crossing over the river with access for both vehicles and pedestrians. Visitors should note that this is an active traffic route, so pedestrians should use designated walkways.
Did you know?
During renovation work, engineers used specialized lifting techniques to move major bridge segments over the active river without interrupting flow. This innovative approach allowed the bridge to remain largely functional during its upgrade.
