The 7th Street Bridge (Andy Warhol Bridge) is one of the many bridges in Pittsburgh.

The smell of urine and feces is extremely strong near the landing and underneath the bridge there are often several used needles without caps. This is a hazard that nobody is taking accountability for, and no action is being taken to...

In literally the world’s “city of bridges” the AW bridge is near the top of the list; architecturally impressive as well as aesthetically appealing. Be sure to check it out if ever in the City of Champions! The Clemente bridge gets all the hype and attention thanks to proximity to PNC park but don’t forget about her sisters...
