[Derrick Brashear]

Answer from 2012 budget. Bridges which are not directly for busway or rail:

Busway/subway overpasses:
Centre Avenue over busway and railroad
Penn Avenue over busway and railroad
28th St bridge over busway and railroad
Seventh Avenue over light rail tunnel to Penn Station, downtown
East Prospect Avenue over West Busway, Ingram

Former PRCo route bridges:
Church Ave bridge in Ben Avon
Center Ave bridge in Emsworth
California Ave bridge in Avalon
Tassey Hollow Bridge in North Braddock

Bridges over/adjacent former PRCo routes
Highland Road over South Hills Village rail line
Brookside Blvd over Graeser's Run along former Drake line
