    Seems like a mistake. There is no bridge at Beechwood and Forward.

    Anybody know what part of Beechwood Boulevard this is?

    Dane-

    This is actually the Greenfield Bridge leading from the point where Bigelow dies out into Greenfield Ave. At the time, Forward Ave continued roughly along the path of the Parkway East connect to "the Run" neighborhood area below Greenfield (which makes those houses way up in the woods on Saline in the Run seem a lot less odd since you used to be able to continue up Forward into Squirrel Hill!)
