Aside from the fact that this is a bridge packed with the rich history, it gives you a unique vantage point of different parts of the city. On nice days I will skip two T stops just to be able to walk across the bridge and spend some time to relax in thought and make my way to Station Square. It's one of my favorite bridges in the city. It is a must see if you are an "out of towner". Then once you make it across the bridge you might as well take yourself up the Monongahela incline and take a peek at the observation point to capture the most beautiful city skyline...

Gorgeous view! I just love the Smithfield Street Bridge! Such a beautiful architecturally designed piece leading to the city! Golden color, colorful flower baskets and an amazing view! Info of being historic on a plate on the bridge. Cool to see! *wheelchair accessible entrance

Below the north side of the bridge I found what is to be seen on the photo attached. It does not fit to the claims of the city. Hopefully, situation has improved meanwhile. I feel sorry for the poor people who live there.

Great place with a beautiful view of the city. The bridge can lead to downtown or station square. At the end there are bus lanes and trolley tracks as well
