[PRCo] Smithfield Street Bridge Closed - September 1966 - Tenth Street Bridge Used as Detour

[Bob Rathke]

I photographed the Carson St. re-routing on several of those weekends in September and October, 1966 - at various locations including South 10th St., the Smithfield St. Bridge and 2nd Avenue.  Here's one of the slides, looking north at Carson and 10th on 10/23/66.

Good thing that the Tenth Street Bridge was still streetcar-operational in September 1966 when the Smithfield Street Bridge had to be closed for "six Sundays."  I think one of you had some jpegs of this unique operation.  Can just imagine taking a 42 Dormont by way of the Tenth Street Bridge and back-tracking to the South Hills Trolley Tunnel.
