33rd Street Railroad Bridge, Railway bridge in Pittsburgh, US
The 33rd Street Railroad Bridge extends across the Allegheny River with steel truss construction and features a 400-foot main span length.
The B&O Railroad constructed this bridge in 1921 to replace an earlier crossing built by Iron City Bridge Works in 1884.
The bridge represents Pittsburgh's industrial legacy as a major transportation hub connecting downtown Pittsburgh with manufacturing areas along the Allegheny River.
The bridge maintains a clearance of 44.9 feet above the water level, allowing commercial vessels to navigate beneath the structure throughout the year.
This steel structure serves as the primary crossing point for the Allegheny Valley Railroad's P&W Subdivision, connecting downtown Pittsburgh to Herrs Island.
