Pittsburgh's Bridges (Images of America)

Synopsis

Pittsburgh Is The City Of Bridges, And What Remarkable Bridges They Are! The Area's Challenging Topography Of Deep Ravines And Mighty Rivers--the Monongahela, Allegheny, And Ohio--set The Stage For Engineers, Architects, And Contractors To Conquer The Terrain With A Variety Of Distinctive Spans. Many Were Designed To Be Beautiful As Well As Functional. While Other Cities May Have One Signature Bridge, Pittsburgh Has Such A Wide Variety That No Single Bridge Can Represent It. Pittsburgh's Bridges Takes A Comprehensive Look At The Design, Construction, And, Sometimes, Demolition Of The Bridges That Shaped Pittsburgh, Ranging From The Covered Bridges Of Yesterday To Those That Define The Skyline Today.
