Comment

I am planning on adding a small image of each bridge on the left of each section.

Also, as I mention in my comment in the text, this is for a brief overview of the more prominent bridges. It is not suppose to be an article on them, just some interesting facts and where they are (streets).

Wouldn't the number of bridges be useful in this article?BradenW 18:21, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aztec Gold

Nearly all of the bridges in Pittsburgh are made of Aztec Gold? I didn't know that. Maybe I should head up the river and grab a few of those Aztec Gold nuts and bolts. I.e. what is the "Aztec Gold" thing about...? Is it somehow connected to the "half moon" bridges? --24.189.102.41 (talk) 03:01, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hamburg, Germany does not have 1,200 bridges within its city limits. Pittsburgh hold the world record for bridges at 455, barely beating out the previous record holder of Venice Italy. So unless Hamburg built upwards of 800 bridges in a years timespan, there is no way they have 1,200. Building so many bridges in such a short period of time would shut down all business in Hamburg and drive the residents out —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.240.62.193 (talk) 05:28, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Really world record for bridges?

Please note that at Talk:Pittsburgh, there is a discussion about whether Pittsburgh is really the city with most bridges in the world (if you ask me, it's clearly not; NYC has four times as many).--137.248.134.8 (talk) 16:06, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to this German portal about bridges http://www.brueckenweb.de/2content/datenbank/listen/basanzstadt.php#.VITehmeExnY New York has the most bridges, followed by Hamburg, Germany. In that list, Pittsburgh is 23rd worldwide and 15th in the US with 715 bridges. As source for the numbers of US cities is given the National Bridge Inventory http://nationalbridges.com/nbi It all boils down to what type of bridges are included in the statistics.

New article: Fern Hollow Bridge collapse

Fern Hollow Bridge collapse

54mmkds (talk) 14:54, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for creating that. I think the right thing to do is to:

Remove the note about the collapse of the bridge from the lede of this page because Wikipedia is not a newspaper
Remove the entry for Fern Hollow Bridge from this page, since it isn't a bridge of Pittsburgh anymore. This would be consistent what what was done when the Hulton Bridge was demolished.

Any objections?
