The 1952 bridge was just to the left (east, upstream) of the new bridge.

It looks like the 2010 bridge is made with concrete segmental box girders.

| USACE, Pittsburgh District posted Did you know C. W. Bill Young Locks and Dam, upstream of Pittsburgh on the Allegheny River, has a quirky little feature hiding in pla#navigation Well, had… Back in the 1930s when the facility was being built, engineers made a one-fifth scale model of a modified taintor gate on the fixed-crest dam. It was meant to help test new ideas for future projects, but apparently it didn't make the cut because the experimental gate no longer there. That’s why one section of the dam looks a little different than the rest - giving the water flow there a slightly different look. Winn Gnutt: It was a model of the Sydney gate installed at Hemsworth [Emsworth] when the gates were installed on the original fixed crest dam. Then locks one(1) on both the allegheny and money were removed. |
I didn't see the notch in most of the images, but it looks like this images shows it near the north shore.
