The 7th Street Bridge while under construction as seen from the 6th Street Bridge. The 9th Street Bridge is in the background. Strange way to build a suspension bridge. (Photo from the collection of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh)
The Smithfield Street Bridge, 1883, was the first major bridge built by the great bridge engineer Gustav Lindenthal. It consists of a pair of "lenticular" (meaning lens shaped) trusses, each of 360 foot span. One of Pittsburgh's (and the nation's) major historic landmarks, it has recently been completely restored.
