Just How Many Bridges Are There In Pittsburgh?
The Roberto Clemente Bridge is an impressive structure, but it's not the only bridge in town. In fact, thanks to a recent study, it's been determined that Pittsburgh has a record number of bridges.
More than 29 bridges cross the three rivers of Pittsburgh. There are arch bridges, beam bridges, suspension bridges, a bridge made completely from coral and even a bridge inside the USX Tower.
There is also a bridge that is completely underneath a fountain in Oakland. The Bellefield Bridge was buried when the city filled what was called St. Pierre's Ravine, which is where the new park is between the Carnegie Library and Hillman Library.
All together, a total of 446 bridges are in the city of Pittsburgh, offically the city with the most bridges in the world, three more than former world leader Venice, Italy.
