This bridge is nearby to the Schenley Bridge, but is NOT the Schenley Bridge. This is the Panther Hollow Bridge, a nearby structure of the same design on the same road. Unlike the Schenley Bridge, the Panther Hollow Bridge includes decorative panthers on the top of the bridge. The Schenley Bridge is not yet featured on this website... as the photos for this bridge show, the setting of the sun brought a bridge documentation trip to a screeching halt.
This bridge is a very old and large example of steel arch technology, and is also a rare example of a three-hinged deck arch. Just as noteworthy are the bridge's stone arch approach spans. These feature the rare elliptical shape of stone arch. Located in a park setting, this bridge should be considered among the greatest of Pittsburgh's treasures, thanks to its historic significance, aesthetic value, and location in a park where many can enjoy seeing the structure.
