    That AROE which was running for god knows how long on the Westbound side of the pike right next to where Washington St. passes over the pike was completely covered by "MS" "SNAFU" and "HEW". I dunno who you guys are, but I enjoyed that AROE everyday on my commuter ride to and from work for the past 6 years I've been working here. So thanks a fucking lot for ruining a great piece of Graffiti history. No to mention your graff really sucks.

     

     

    "No Dis" ummm , really? What is with these kids? No respect I tell you. No regard either... That Aroe had a good 10+ years holding that spot down hard , what a shame.

    dope flick but it looks like the smithfield bridge

     

     

    But not the one we know today...

     

    History

     

    The present bridge is the third bridge at the site and remains the oldest steel bridge in the United States. In 1818, a wooden bridge was built across the Monongahela by Louis Wernwag at a cost of $102,000. This bridge was destroyed in Pittsburgh's Great Fire of 1845. The second bridge on the site was a wire rope suspension bridge built by John A. Roebling. Increases in both bridge traffic and river traffic eventually made the lightly-built bridge with eight short spans inadequate. The present Lindenthal bridge was built in its place, using the Roebling bridge's stone masonry piers.

     

    The Smithfield Street bridge is the second-to-last of the many bridges which span the Monongahela before the river joins with the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River at Downtown Pittsburgh. The Fort Pitt Bridge is further downstream of it.

     

    The bridge also served the Pittsburgh Railways streetcar system with a rail line that continued on a loop from the Mt. Washington Transit Tunnel through downtown on Wood Street, Grant Street and Liberty Avenue. The streetcar rail line was abandoned July 3, 1985, when the streetcars were diverted to the Panhandle Bridge and the new light rail subway.

     

    The bridge's short clearance from the river as well as its deteriorated condition convinced PennDOT officials to demolish the bridge and to replace it with a modern bridge. Lobbying by Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation on the merits of preserving the bridge were considered by officials. In 1994-1995 the bridge was rehabilitated with a new deck, a colorful paint scheme, and architectural lighting. The abandoned rail lines became an extra traffic lane and there was an addition of a light-controlled bus lane which is activated during peak traffic hours.[2] The bridge also has the distinction of being the most heavily walked pedestrian bridge, mostly commuters that park at Station Square.

     

    The bridge connects Smithfield Street in Downtown Pittsburgh with Station Square.

    For the record , the "east side" is the edge of east liberty and shady sides border that has been gentrified. By using said term youi in a way are supporting exploitative land owners who are raising rents. Just remember kids , its the East End , always and forever.
