The Hot Metal Bridge formerly connected parts of the J&L Steel mill, carrying crucibles of molten steel from the blast furnaces to the rolling mills on the opposite bank. The upstream span was converted to road use in 2000, connecting 2nd Avenue near South Oakland with Hot Metal Street (South 29th Street) in the South Side. The downstream span reopened for pedestrian and bicycle use in late 2007 after two years of work.
The Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation was responsible for managing the decorative lighting project for the bridge, which was light with energy-efficient light-emitting diode (LED) and optical fiber technology on June 12, 2008.
