It seems like great photos are being added to the Historic Pittsburgh Image Archive almost weekly.  A search for “28th Street Bridge” yielded some wonderful photos that were just added to the archive.  Here are two that were taken eighty-six years ago, on April 7, 1926.

There have been a few 28th Street Bridges.  According to notations on some of the Historic Pittsburgh Archive images, the bridge in these photos was built in 1908.
