The Charles Anderson Bridge has been closed to all vehicular traffic until repairs can be made.
Swinburne Bridge
Description
The City of Pittsburgh, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), is advancing the Swinburne Bridge replacement project.
Context
The bridge functions as a critical link between Four Mile Run, South Oakland, Greenfield, Hazelwood, and downtown. It weaves beneath the I-376 Frazier St Viaduct and over CSX/Allegheny Valley railroad, Saline St, serving as a gateway to Four Mile Run.
The current Swinburne bridge, built in 1915, consists of six deck- and thru-girder spans on steel bent towers. While novel for its day, it lacks modern principles of bridge design, which provide increased redundancy and decrease future maintenance needs.
Status
On hold — pending completion of the Charles Anderson Bridge
