It carries motor vehicles, has four undivided lanes with the center lanes being reversible. The structure is made of steel cantilevers and concrete piers. The mammoth bridge spreads over a total length of 2663 feet (811 meters). Crossing the Monongahela River, it intersects Interstate 579 at its northern terminus. This bridge has also given way to direct auto routes of South Hall to and from downtown.
This lavish Moreland-Hoffstot House is an elegant two-storied building. Built in 1914, it is an example of the French Renaissance style of architecture. Arched windows, columns and verdant lawns are some of the features of its design. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Hot Metal Bridge is a dual truss bridge built over the Monongahela River. Built in 1900, it was originally a railroad used to transport steel across the banks from furnaces to mills. In the early 2000s, its upstream span was converted into a road and its downstream side into a pathway for pedestrians and bicycles. This construction is a testament of Pittsburgh’s remarkable infrastructure and a visit here offers scenic vistas of the city.
