Excerpt from Wikipedia
The George D. Stuart Bridge (commonly known as the Tarentum Bridge) is a steel deck truss bridge that carries vehicular traffic across the Allegheny River between New Kensington and Tarentum in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.
History
From its opening in 1952 until 1961, it featured a 10 cent toll. Originally named the Tarentum–Valley Heights Bridge, the name was changed to honor Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representative George D. Stuart. Stuart, who also edited the Valley News Dispatch, a New Kensington newspaper, and had continuously lobbied for bridge construction along the Allegheny.
