Tenth Street Bridge, Pittsburgh, PA
Bridgepixing the Tenth Street Bridge, completed in 1933, spanning the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This yellow beauty is the only "true" Suspension Bridge in Pittsburgh. The Three Sisters Bridges look like suspension bridges, but they use eyebars instead of cables. Additional Bridge Photos and a Bridge Blog at www.Bridgepix.com.
South Tenth Street Bridge, most often called the Tenth Street Bridge, but officially dubbed the Philip Murray Bridge, is a suspension bridge spanning the Monongahela River in Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The bridge was renamed on Labor Day 2007 for Philip Murray, the first president of the United Steelworkers of America and a giant of the 20th century American labor movement.
The bridge connects South Tenth Street in the South Side to Second Avenue and the Armstrong Tunnel in the Bluff. A staircase leads from the northern terminus of the bridge to the campus of Duquesne University.
Artist Tim Kaulen painted a series of black animal figures variously described as dinosaurs, ducks or geese at the top of the south tower. Each hand-painted figure is about six feet tall and may be plainly seen from the north shore of the Mon River. (Wikipedia)
