If you repeatedly use the zoom tool, clicking on the bridge, you
can sort of make out "SEVENTH ST BRIDGE" (well, all I can really see is
"H ST BRIDGE", but it looks like the right number of letters to be
"SEVENTH").  So it's probably Seventh, not Grant.

This is Seventh (extreme left of map) near the Allegheny in 1903:
