Fort Pitt Bridge

The Fort Pitt Bridge is a steel, double-decked bowstring arch bridge that spans the Monongahela River near its confluence with the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It carries Interstate 376 between the Fort Pitt Tunnel and Downtown Pittsburgh. Opened in June 1959 as a replacement for the Point Bridge, the Fort Pitt Bridge was the world's first computer-designed bowstring arch bridge and double-decked bowstring arch bridge. The bridge is known for its difficult lane changes, especially on the lower level, often requiring people to go from the extreme left lane across two lanes to the extreme right lane in only 700 feet. The upper level is more forgiving for some routes but still requires a full span lane change in 700 feet to get from the south side entrance to the downtown exits. History The $6.305 million Fort Pitt Bridge, designed by George S. Richardson of Richardson, Gordon, & Associates, opened at 11 a.m. on June 19, 1959, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by Gov. David L. Lawrence before a caravan, including Mayor Thomas Gallagher and mayoral candidate Joseph M. Barr, was driven across while a city fireboat gave a hose salute upriver. Its two predecessor bridges, the original Point Bridge (1877–1924) and its replacement of the same name (a.k.a. Point Bridge II, 1927–1959), spanned even closer to the aforementioned confluence from West Carson Street (near the Duquesne Incline) to Water St. (now Fort Pitt Blvd.), near the tip of Point State Park. The Point Bridge closed two days after the opening of the Fort Pitt Bridge. Still, it remained standing until it was dismantled (along with the connected Manchester Bridge) in 1970. Until the opening of the Fort Pitt Tunnels on September 1, 1960, outbound traffic was routed onto West Carson St. (PA 837 North), heading towards the West End. At the time of opening, the bridge contained 8,066 tons of steel, including 4,950 tons of structural carbon steel and 1,305 tons of steel reinforcing rods. The contractors included U.S. Steel's American Bridge Co., John F. Casey Co., Dinardo Inc., Fort Pitt Bridge Co., and J.C. Jackanic Inc. Popular culture The Fort Pitt Bridge is part of a sequence from The Song Remains the Same (1976), a documentary of Led Zeppelin's 1973 tour. Many other Pittsburgh landmarks are also shown, including the Liberty Bridge and its tunnels. It also features prominently in the 2012 film The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The bridge also appears in the 1993 film Striking Distance and the 2011 film Abduction. The early promotional images for The Last of Us used this bridge as a recognizable landmark to show that the game would be partially set in and around Pittsburgh. During the game, the characters use the bridge in the distance as a landmark for their destination out of the city.

Fort Pitt Bridge

Il Fort Pitt Bridge è un ponte ad arco a due piani in acciaio che attraversa il fiume Monongahela vicino alla sua confluenza con il fiume Allegheny a Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. Inaugurato nel giugno del 1959 in sostituzione del Point Bridge, il Fort Pitt Bridge è stato il primo ponte ad arco progettato al computer. Il ponte è noto per i suoi difficili cambi di corsia, specialmente al piano inferiore, che spesso richiedono alle persone di passare dall'estrema corsia sinistra attraverso due corsie all'estrema destra in soli 300 piedi. Il livello superiore è più tollerabile per alcuni percorsi, ma richiede ancora un cambio di corsia a campata completa in 300 piedi per arrivare dall'entrata sud alle uscite del centro. Storia Il Fort Pitt Bridge da 6,305 milioni di dollari, progettato da George S. Richardson, è stato inaugurato il 19 giugno 1959. I suoi due ponti precedenti, il Point Bridge originale (1877-1924) e la sua sostituzione con lo stesso nome (aka Point Bridge II, 1927-1959), si estendevano ancora più vicino alla summenzionata confluenza da West Carson Street (vicino alla Duquesne Incline) a Water St. (ora Fort Pitt Blvd.), vicino alla punta di Point State Park . Cultura di massa Il Fort Pitt Bridge fa parte di una sequenza di The Song Remains the Same (1976), un documentario del tour dei Led Zeppelin del 1973. Vengono mostrati anche molti altri punti di riferimento di Pittsburgh, tra cui il Ponte della Libertà e i suoi tunnel .

Fort Washington State Park

Fort Washington State Park is a 493-acre (200 ha) Pennsylvania state park in Springfield and Whitemarsh Townships in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The park is noted for the springtime flowering of dogwood trees, and is popular with families for picnics and hiking. It is approximately 17 miles (27 km) north of Philadelphia, 2 miles (3.2 km) from exit 339 of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. History American Revolutionary War Both Fort Washington State Park and the neighboring town are named for American defenses and encampment established here in 1777, during the Philadelphia campaign of the American Revolutionary War. After Washington's defeat at the Battle of Germantown, his 11,000 troops were encamped in this area from November 11, 1777 to December 11, 1777, after which they marched to Valley Forge for winter quarters. From December 5–8, 1777, the Battle of White Marsh was fought in the immediate vicinity. The park's Fort Hill marks the spot where a temporary fort once stood. The Pennsylvania militia under Generals Armstrong, Cadwalader and Irvine held positions on what is today called Militia Hill. Park's establishment The park was established by Philadelphia's Fairmount Park Commission in the early 1920s. The commission, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters, administered the park until 1953. That year, an act of state legislature transferred responsibility of the park to the Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters (known today as the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources). Recreational activities at Fort Washington State Park include Disc golf, fishing, hiking, dog walking, bird and wildlife watching, sledding, cross-country skiing and picnicking. From September 1 to October 31, an organized "Hawk Watch" takes place in which viewers can observe all 16 species of raptors that migrate on the East Coast from the park's observation deck. Hunting is prohibited at Fort Washington State Park.

Fort Wayne Railroad Bridge

The Fort Wayne Railroad Bridge, listed as the Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge on the National Register of Historic Places, is a double-deck steel truss railroad bridge spanning the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The upper deck carries the Fort Wayne Line with two tracks of Norfolk Southern and Amtrak traffic. The lower deck is unused. The bridge crosses 40 feet (12 m) above the Allegheny and its longest span is 319 feet (97 m). History The bridge was built between 1901 and 1904 by American Bridge Company on new piers immediately next to the 1868 bridge it replaced while the old bridge remained in use. The 1868 bridge was a five-span wrought-iron lattice truss built for the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway with two simple plate girder spans as approach roads at each end. In 1918 the bridge and associated approaches were raised (as were other neighboring bridges) to increase navigable headroom. The lower level was used by local freight trains switching in the Downtown area and the Strip District. Its tracks were removed in the 1980s as part of a major track and platform realignment through Pennsylvania Station.

Foxburg Country Club

Foxburg Country Club, established in 1887, is the oldest golf course in continuous use in the United States. It is located in Foxburg, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, United States of America, approximately 55 miles (89 km) north of Pittsburgh on a hill rising about 300 feet above the Allegheny River. The course was listed in 2007 as Foxburg Country Club and Golf Course on the National Register of Historic Places. The clubhouse contains the American Golf Hall of Fame. History The course was built by Joseph Mickle Fox. Fox was introduced to golf in 1884 while traveling in Great Britain to play in cricket matches, as a member of the Merion Cricket Club, also known as "The Gentlemen of Philadelphia." After participating in a cricket match in Edinburgh, Scotland, Fox visited St. Andrews to see the game of golf being played. Tom Morris Sr., the old bearded pro at St. Andrews took a liking to Fox and taught him the fundamentals of the game, sold him equipment and gutta percha balls to bring back to the United States. Fox was so intrigued by golf, that upon his arrival back to his summer estate in Clarion County, he made an eight-hole course on the nearby Fox Estate. In 1887, due to local enthusiasm for golf, the club decided to build a more spacious golf course and Fox provided the land rent free, for what was to become Foxburg Country Club. The club was established and the golf course was expanded to nine holes in 1888. Historic buildings and objects at the club are the 1912 seasonal home adapted for use as a clubhouse in 1942, a stone well house built about 1890, and nine golf-related stone troughs. The troughs held sand and water that were combined by the golfers into small mounds that were used in place of tees. They were in use until about 1930. The clubhouse was originally designed by the architecture firm of Starrett & van Vleck. It is a three-story Rustic Adirondack style building, with a broad verandah. Many golfers who have played at Foxburg have stated that it is an easy course, but also challenging due to the amount of trees and brush. Foxburg Country Club is a throwback and considered a "must play" by true lovers of the game of golf if passing through on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania. The course is approximately five minutes south of the Interstate. American Golf Hall of Fame The Foxburg Country Club is home to the American Golf Hall of Fame. This museum houses an extensive collection of extremely old and valuable golf clubs and artifacts from many different eras (prior to 1900) of the game. The museum is free and located on the top floor of the Foxburg Clubhouse.

Frank H. Buhl Mansion

Frank H. Buhl Mansion, or Buhl Mansion, is a historic home located in Sharon, Pennsylvania, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Description The mansion was built in 1891 for the Buhl family, which owned the Sharon Iron Works. The ashlar sandstone residence has 2+1⁄2 storeys. Noted Youngstown architect Charles Henry Owsley (1846–1935) designed it in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The mansion features round arches, steep gable wall dormers, an inset porch with heavy arches, stone finials, and several turrets with copper capped spires. Although the house had been converted to apartments, it was restored. It currently operates as a bed and breakfast and wedding venue. History Yale-educated Frank H. Buhl (1848-1918) had returned in 1887 from Detroit, Michigan to help his father run the Iron Works, and in the following year, the Iron Works became Mercer County's largest employer. Buhl founded the Buhl Steel Company in 1896, which three years later merged into the National Steel Co., which was itself eventually merged into the United States Steel Corporation shortly before Buhl's retirement. Buhl became known as the "Father of the Industrial Shenango Valley" and also founded Sharon Steel and Sharon Steel Castings (also merged into U.S. Steel). Buhl married Julia Forker, daughter of a prominent Sharon family. They had no children and became known for using their fortune to support the surrounding community. Buhl's father had founded the Christian H. Buhl hospital (now the Sharon Regional Hospital). Frank Buhl established the F.H. Buhl club, opened to all Sharon citizens in 1903, and located between this building and the city's downtown. It held music and social rooms, bowling alleys, billiard and games rooms, and a library. It merged with a women's club founded by Julia Buhl, and still serves the community as a recreation center. In 1914, the F.H. Buhl Farm opened as a 300-acre park, complete with an 11-acre lake, beaches, 10 tennis courts, a nine-hole golf course, picnic groves, pavilions, playground and a baseball field. The mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 and featured in the 1988 film Tiger Warsaw.

Frankford Avenue Bridge

Die Frankford Avenue Bridge, deutsch in etwa Frankford-Avenue-Brücke, ist eine 1697 fertiggestellte Brücke in Philadelphia, der Hauptstadt des Bundesstaates Pennsylvania der Vereinigten Staaten. Sie gilt als erste bekannte Steinbogenbrücke der USA und ist wahrscheinlich auch die älteste Brücke an einer Hauptverkehrsroute des Landes. Lage Die Brücke mit drei Bögen wurde im nordöstlichen Teil Philadelphias erbaut und führt die Franklin Avenue über den Pennypack Creek, einen Bach, der in den Delaware River mündet. Ursprünglich führte die King’s Road über die Brücke, welche die Hauptverkehrsverbindung zwischen Philadelphia und New York war. Die Franklin Avenue ist heute Teil des U.S. Highway 13, der entlang der Südküste bis nach North Carolina führt. Geschichte Die Franklin Avenue Bridge wurde mehr als hundert Jahre vor der Herrschaft Napoleons erbaut. Für den Bau der Brücke musste jedes männliche Mitglied der umliegenden Gemeinden entweder Fronarbeit oder Geld beisteuern. Die erste Brücke war 18 Fuß (5,5 m) breit, sodass knapp zwei Pferdefuhrwerke kreuzen konnten. Sie wurde 1893 erheblich verbreitert, damit sie auch von der Straßenbahn genutzt werden konnte. 1950 wurde sie erneut verbreitert, um mehr Platz für die Autos zu schaffen. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Мост Франкфорд-авеню

Мост Франкфорд-авеню — трёхпролётный арочный мост через ручей Пеннипак-крик (приток реки Делавэр) в Филадельфии; самый старый сохранившийся мост в Соединённых Штатах Америки. В настоящее время используется как двухполосный автодорожный мост с ограничением массы транспортных средств до 20 тонн, его длина составляет 22 метра. 10 марта 1683 года Генеральная ассамблея вновь провозглашённой британской колонии Пенсильвания законодательно постановила силами окрестных жителей построить мосты через реки и ручьи по всей пенсильванской части Королевской дороги, протянувшейся от Чарлстона до Бостона. Мосты должны были иметь ширину не менее десяти футов и иметь перила с каждой стороны, территория вокруг них подлежала расчистке. Бетонный мост, обложенный камнем, на пути из Филадельфии в сторону Трентона и Нью-Йорка, был сооружён в 1697 году по личному указанию основателя Филадельфии Уильяма Пенна, чей дом располагался на противоположном от города берегу ручья. В 1756 году по мосту Франкфорд-авеню пролёг первый маршрут общественного транспорта — дилижанс между Филадельфией и Нью-Йорком. Все прибывавшие в Филадельфию с севера верхом или в экипаже, в частности делегаты Континентальных конгрессов 1774—1775 годов, проезжали через этот мост. В 1789 году мост пересёк Джордж Вашингтон по пути в Нью-Йорк на первую инаугурацию президента Соединённых Штатов Америки. В 1803 году дорожное полотно на мосту укрепили слоем щебня, тогда же у южного въезда на мост появился пункт взимания платы. Проезд стал свободным лишь в 1892 году, когда дорога была выкуплена городскими властями Филадельфии. Тогда же мост был расширен, а в 1895 году по нему пошли трамваи, в 1955 году заменённые на троллейбусы. Мост реконструировался ещё дважды — в 1950 и 2018 годах с сохранением первоначальной конструкции и внешнего вида. В 1970 году году мост Франкфорд-авеню стал одним из национальных исторических памятников гражданского строительства США, а в 1988 году он был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест США.
