Description
“The Highland Park Highway Bridge, illustrated at the top of this page, crosses the Allegheny River, replaces a bridge built in 1902, and eliminates four railroad grade crossings. The main spans consist of a steel-deck cantilever structure with north and south anchor-arm spans 162.5 feet each and five main spans 278 feet each. Six deck-plate girder spans over the railway line have a total length of 585.1 feet. The project was completed in August 1939 at a construction cost of $2,314,205 and a project cost of $2,554,180.
