Pittsburgh_-_"Bridge_to_Nowhere".jpg


Summary

Description

Pittsburgh had a real "Bridge to Nowhere." The main span of the Fort Duquesne Bridge over the Allegheny River was completed in 1963. Land for the approaches had not been acquired, so the bridge stayed like this for five years.

The bridge was finally completed in 1968. It now carries Interstate Highway I-279 . There are two decks of traffic.
