The old 6th St (before the "sister") bridge, I think it was the "Grand
Union" bridge, was recycled by Allegheny County at Coraopolis, between
Neville Island and Cory... it was saddled with a restrictive weight limit
at the end of its life, which led to another functional but ugly
replacement. 

Said bridge would have been on the car line to Sewickley.
