This 1,544' (471m) long bridge has a main span of 505' (154m). [HistoricBridges]
The "energetic felling" of the old bridge Jan 2016.
The new bridge evidently uses steel girders.

| Stuff Thats gone posted 2015 construction picture I shot of the new Hulton Bridge. There’s been plans to take the bike trail from Pittsburgh up to Kittanning. It was a shame they didn’t build a wide enough sidewalk on the new bridge to allow cyclist to easily detour in Oakmont and check out the Oakmont bakery for some quick carbohydrates! The old Bridge would’ve been a great pedestrian & bike way, but alas, I’m sure they didn’t want to maintain it |

| Photo by National Steel Bridge Alliance via PGHbridges_2015 The haunched girder bridge cost $64.8m. Four 600-ton strand jacks were used to lift a 282' (86m) x 75' (23m) center section during a 48-hour closure of the navigation channel. The main span is 500' (152m). |
