    Rachel Carson Bridge
    Joe D.

    The Rachel Carson Bridge is formally the 9th street bridge, named in honor of the Springdale native. An ecologist, she penned the book Silent Spring, which proved the pesticide DDT was killing off wild life such as the Bald Eagle. The book led to the banning of that substance. This bridge is a self anchored suspension bridge that connects the downtown with the North Side. It crosses the Allegheny river.

    This is one of the "three sister" bridges that span across the Allegheny River. On a sunny day you can get great views of PNC park in one direction or of the Convention Center in the other directions. Not for me however, Fighting rain and wind I could barely get too far on this bridge for good pictures. This bridge was formerly known as the 9th St bridge but is now called the Rachel Carson bridge. There were times in the summer when I went downtown to catch a show a park near this bridge and would see some sort of event going on it. I thought to myself that I surely don't want to be caught up in this jam of people let alone get out of it! While it is true this bridge is in dire need of repair the city has enough construction problems going on that it can wait. It comes in handy if you are coming in from the north side and want to go towards the Convention Center or the theater district.

    Picklesburgh!!

    I'm reviewing picklesburgh that takes place on this bridge - so cool that they shut down the bridge so we can celebrate pickles! Fun event - they have beer, food and bands - check it aht!

    See all
