This bridge was built using recycled steel from the Wabash Bridge that crossed the Mon in Pittsburgh between Southside and Downtown out of the Wabash Tunnel. That bridge was torn down in 1948 after not seeing usage and they reutilized the steel on this project. You can still see the old Wabash bridge piers on either side of the Mon right where the Wabash Tunnel cuts through Mt. Washington.
If anyone has any photos from when this operated in conjunction with streetcars, please let me know because I would love to see the pictures.
