road bridge, cantilever bridge
Built in 1951, the Rankin Bridge crosses the Monongahela River between the boroughs of Rankin and Whitaker. It is a major traffic artery between Pittsburgh's eastern and southern suburbs, and also serves communities in the Monongahela River Valley. Traffic from the Parkway East (I-376) utilizes the Rankin Bridge for access to nearby Kennywood Park.
In recent years, the bridge has fallen into disrepair, with rust visible on the superstructure, and steel rebar visible on the bridge deck. Work to rehabilitate the bridge began in 2008, and is expected to finish in 2010.
