Bloomfield Bridge, Steel girder bridge in Pittsburgh, US
The Bloomfield Bridge stretches 1,535 feet across Skunk Hollow, connecting the Bloomfield and Polish Hill neighborhoods with four traffic lanes at 150 feet above ground.
Built in 1986, this bridge replaced the 1914 steel cantilever structure that measured 2,100 feet and cost $500,000 during its initial construction period.
The bridge connects Liberty Avenue, a commercial street in an Italian neighborhood, to Polish Hill, reflecting the diverse heritage of Pittsburgh's communities.
The structure provides passage for vehicles across multiple railway tracks, the Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway, and links downtown Pittsburgh through PA 380.
A community sports field beneath the bridge served as the training ground for football player Johnny Unitas before his professional career.
