View of construction and work crews on the Bloomfield Bridge, from the south abutment looking to Bloomfield. The Straub Brewery appears at the end of the bridge. Connecting Bigelow Boulevard and Liberty Avenue, the bridge took one year to build. It was designed by the city's Bureau of Bridges for an approximate cost of $450,000 but built by the Fort Pitt Bridge Works. The cantilevered structure totals 2,100 feet in length.
