Description
Built in 1894,[1] this through truss railroad bridge once served the Pittsburgh, Chartiers & Youghiogheny Railroad. It spans the back channel of the Ohio River, and it is still in use today. A single rail line crosses the bridge, connecting chemical plants on the industrial half of the island with the Pittsburgh and Ohio Central Railroad mainline.
