33rd STREET RAILWAY BRIDGE
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA
IMAGE NUMBER 665
The 33rd Street Railway bridge across the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh was constructed in 1921 in the age of steel and is now disused. The bridge is accessed down 33rd street by an elevated trestle, constructed in 1883, with 37 spans above 33rd street. Interestingly, Uber's Pittsburgh technology centre is located on the Allegheny River adjacent to the trestles - Uber's driverless cars circulate beneath the trestles to and from the Uber facililty. While taking these images, security staff from Uber insisted (unsucessfully) that Atticus should delete his images.
