"Reportedly, this bridge was under construction by 1948 and was made from steel specifically sourced from the melted scrap of the Wabash Bridge."

Here's a shot I took last weekend, of a towboat, the Megan Ames traveling up the river, from near the old "Paule's Lookout" location, looking out over the valley. I shared a similar image from this same location last week, of just this towboat in a tighter frame traveling under the Mansfield Bridge, but this shot also includes U.S. Steel Irvin Works in West Mifflin, farther up the valley on the other side of Dravosburg. This shot has the perfect mix of industry, nature, and everything that the Mon Valley is known for, all in one frame. Enjoy!
