1951,1985 Regis Malady Bridge over Monongahela River at Elizabeth, PA

(Archived Bridge Hunter has a broken link; Bridge Hunter; Historic Bridges; Satellite)

This 1502' (458m) long bridge has a main span of 140' (137m). [HistoricBridges]
BridgeHunter provides a length of 1990.3' (607m).
BridgeHunter called the design: "Cantilevered tied arch." But I agree with HistoricBridges that it is a continuous truss.

"This particular bridge has good historic integrity and retains ornamental details like the piers at the ends of the main spans, the railing on the sidewalk, and the stairways." [HistoricBridges]
