W.D. Mansfield Memorial Bridge - Dravosburg, PA - Truss Bridges on Waymarking.com

The W.D. Mansfield Memorial Bridge, commonly known as the Dravosburg Bridge, is a cantilever bridge built of multiple truss sections.

This structure replaced the low-level 1889 Dravosburg-Reynoldton Bridge. The steel from the Wabash Bridge (Pittsburgh), demolished in 1948, was used in the construction of this bridge.[1]
As built, the Mansfield Bridge carried trolley tracks of Pittsburgh Railways route 56 McKeesport via 2nd Avenue. The trolley line was replaced by a bus on September 5, 1963.
The bridge is named for McKeesport politician William D. Mansfield, who served as an Allegheny County Commissioner and later as a State Senator
