Donald R. Lobaugh Bridge, Cantilever bridge across Allegheny River in Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania.
The Donald R. Lobaugh Bridge extends 426 feet across the Allegheny River with two piers supporting its metal truss structure and cantilever design.
The 1965 structure replaced the deteriorated 1889 Garvers Ferry Bridge, which sustained substantial damage during a barge collision in 1959.
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.
Following extensive steel repairs in 2007, the bridge increased its weight capacity from 3 tons to 40 tons, enabling commercial vehicle traffic.
The structure marks the transition point between suburban Pittsburgh and the Upper Allegheny region with a clearance of 47 feet for river navigation.
