  • Significance: This bridge, the second to be built near this site, was erected to replace the original; the old bridge was demolished shortly after completion of the new bridge. The second Point Bridge was constructed by the Ft. Pitt Bridge Works of Pittsburgh - total length, 1330 feet with approaches. The main span for river clearance was 430 feet long, and the deck held a 38-foot roadway. It was a cantilever, arch-truss construction with a suspended central span. Although closed in 1959, it was not demolished until eleven years later.
