1972,2009 Donora Monessen Bridge over Monongahela River

If you are here because of "B&O Bridge #464 over Old River in Cleveland, OH," then you need to go there.

This deck truss bridge is 2141' (653m) long with a span of 608' (185m). [BridgeHunter]

I include this view to show that it launches from a high river bluff.

I learned of this bridge because of this photo of a steel mill. It is in the left background.

It is officially the Stan Musial Bridge because Donora was his hometown.
[But no source that I looked at including Google Maps has used that name.]

This is what it looked like before it was rehabilitated.
