Excerpt from Wikipedia

The McKees Rocks Bridge is a steel trussed through arch bridge which carries the Blue Belt, Pittsburgh's innermost beltline, across the Ohio River at Brighton Heights and McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, west of the city.

At 7,293 feet (2,223 m) long, it is the longest bridge in Allegheny County.

Built in 1931, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
