Bridge Documentation

Smaller than the bridges at the south end of the island, these bridges are part of the same projects, and one of these two bridges was built in 1935 and the other in 1963, and are nearly identical.

See the South Bridges page for more information about the design and appearance of these bridges.

Taylor-Fichter Steel Construction Company was reported as the general contractor in period news articles. In the 1935 AISC Bridge Awards, the fabricators were listed as Fort Pitt Bridge Works, Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation, and as such it is assumed they were subcontractors, and highlighted in the AISC award as that award focuses on steel construction. Booth and Flynn Company was the substructure contractor for the 1935 bridge.
