Donald R. Lobaugh Bridge, Cantilever bridge across Allegheny River in Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania.
The Donald R. Lobaugh Bridge is a cantilever truss bridge spanning the Allegheny River in Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania. It features a metal framework design that allows river navigation to pass beneath.
Built in 1965, this bridge replaced an older structure from 1889 that had been damaged by a barge collision in 1959. The new design was constructed to restore reliable crossing over the river.
The bridge bears the name of Private Donald R. Lobaugh, who received the Medal of Honor for his actions near Afua, New Guinea in 1944.
The bridge has been upgraded to support heavier traffic flow following repairs completed in 2007. The structure offers a safe crossing with adequate clearance below for river vessels.
The structure marks the transition point between suburban Pittsburgh and the Upper Allegheny region with a clearance of 47 feet for river navigation.
