Great Allegheny Passage


A dedication ceremony was held Wednesday for the Hot Metal Pedestrian Bridge. The $11 million project is a connection from Pittsburgh's South Side to Oakland for bikers, runners and walkers. The new pedestrian bridge features new paint, lighting and railings. It is part of the Great Allegheny Passage, 150-mile trail connecting Washington, D.C., to Pittsburgh. I avoided shooting any frames from the ribbon cutting, despite prompting by the mayor's press secretary to, "come up here and shoot on this side of the tape."
