Not sure if you know this Aaron but this bridge just got a fresh coat of paint a couple years ago At a cost of $14.5 million which is why it is so vibrant.
Also, in the 1960s it was known as the "bridge to nowhere" as it didn't connect to anything for 5 years.

This is a hilarious story about it:
"On December 12, 1964, a 21 year old chemistry major at the University of Pittsburgh drove a 1959 Chrysler station wagon off the end of the bridge and landed unhurt on the other side. His adventure is documented in WQED-TV's Mid-Atlantic region Emmy Award-winning documentary "Flying off the Bridge to Nowhere and Other Tales of Pittsburgh Bridges", narrated by Rick Sebak.

Within a few weeks of this near tragedy, iconic Pittsburgh radio personality, Rege Cordic, distributed commemorative bumper stickers which read "Official Entry, Cordic & Company Bridge Leap Contest." With thousands of vehicles bearing these stickers on Pittsburgh's streets, the city responded by blocking off the end of the bridge with concrete barriers."

Austin,

I've read about "the bridge to nowhere", but have never seen a photo of the Ft. Duquesne Bridge without Ohio River Blvd. for it to connect to! Love it, just love it! Also, thanks for the kind words, everyone!
