Andy Warhol Bridge, Self-anchored suspension bridge in Downtown Pittsburgh, United States
Description
The Andy Warhol Bridge is a self-anchored suspension bridge spanning the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh. It connects Seventh Street in Downtown to Sandusky Street on the North Side, serving both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
History
A bridge was first built at this location between 1924 and 1926, replacing an earlier structure from 1884. The current naming arrived in 2005, commemorating a decade of the nearby museum.
Culture
The bridge took its name in 2005 to honor the renowned pop artist who was born in Pittsburgh and whose museum sits on the opposite bank. This naming reflects the city's pride in one of its most famous native sons.
Practical
Cross the bridge during daylight and good visibility for safety and to enjoy the river views. Allow time for a leisurely walk if you want to take in the surroundings and stop for photos.
Did you know?
In 2013, volunteers covered the entire structure with knitted and crocheted panels for a month-long textile art installation. This temporary project turned the bridge into a living canvas of colorful handmade covers.
