Key Facts
Bridge Name Facility Carried / Feature Intersected Location Structure Type Construction Date / Builder or Contractor
Neville Island Railroad Bridge Railroad (Ohio Central) Over Ohio River Back Channel Pittsburgh: Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Metal Pinned Pennsylvania Through Truss, Stationary 0 By: Unknown

This is an unusual bridge too look at because it features two main spans (one large, and one smaller) that feature two truss configurations that are both uncommon types. The large span is a Pennsylvania truss, while the smaller through truss span is a double-intersection Warren truss. The two other spans are through plate girders. The plate girders and the double-Warren spans are not original (although they are old enough they are still considered historic), and replaced other truss spans that would have likely been stylistically similar to the Pennsylvania span, although historic photos show they were not Pennsylvania spans and were either Pratts or Whipples.
