6th Street Bridge - Roberto Clemente
Bridge
|
The Sixth Street Bridge, renamed the Roberto Clemente Bridge in 1999, is
one of three identical "sister" bridges built across the Allegheny River,
connecting Pittsburgh to the North Shore. It, like most downtown
Pittsburgh river bridges, is painted golden yellow (the official city
colors are Black and Gold). The unique U-shaped building at the far end of
the bridge is the historic Fulton building, recently restored as a luxury
Marriott Renaissance Hotel.
