Yes, Pittsburgh is known as The City of Bridges, and it's easy to see why. With plenty of rivers, hills and valleys, the area around this city provides ideal sites for many outstanding bridges with innovative and beautiful bridges. From the old Smithfield Street Bridge to the new Veterans Bridge over the Ohio between Wheeling and Steubenville, these structures have challenged and delighted generations of engineers who have worked here. And there are many great stories about these bridges including the tale of the Pitt student who drover a Chrysler station wagon off the unfinished Fort Duquesne Bridge (back in 1964 the it was the Bridge to Nowhere!)
