  • The Smithfield Street bridge is Pittsburgh's oldest--and one of its most unique--bridges. It is distinct due to its blue color and its double helix-shaped supports, which are ornamental as well as functional. Like many of Pittsburgh's bridges, it is pedestrian and cyclist friendly, with sidewalks on both sides sectioned off from the lanes in the middle carrying vehicular traffic. As others have mentioned, this bridge connects downtown with Station Square, a popular destination for tourists due to its proximity to the inclines. Indeed, many tours of PGH (duck boats, segway, etc.) leave from Station Square and use this bridge to cross over to downtown. Given that it doesn't connect directly to a main thoroughfare, the pace of traffic is more relaxed than on some nearby bridges (Liberty, Fort Pitt, Fort Duquesne), making the drive across a less hectic alternative. The Smithfield St. bridge, like the Hot Metal Bridge further upstream, crosses the Monongahela River and offers a breathtaking view of the Golden Triangle area from its downstream side. As such, it's a popular vantage point for Fourth of July fireworks--so much so, in fact, that it is closed to traffic that evening so that viewers can take full advantage. If you're seeking a higher vista, you can take the nearby Duquesne Incline to view the fireworks from Grandview Ave. on Mt. Washington--though I recommend arriving early to stake a claim if this is your plan given the popularity of this vantage point. As can be deduced by the number of times I've checked in, the Smithfield Bridge is one of my favorite PGH bridges. In fact, the Smithfield Bridge is the westernmost point of a loop around the Three Rivers Heritage trails that I often do during weekdays, which takes me a little over an hour in total. Due to its position and distinctiveness, it makes a great halfway point, and I enjoy observing the surrounding scenery from it no matter which direction I'm headed.
