A visit to Pittsburgh (for me) would be incomplete without a walk to check out the Three Sisters. The Three Sisters is the name given to the Sixth, Seventh, and Ninth Street Bridges which all span across the Allegheny River. They’re named Three Sisters since they’re almost identical suspension bridges. Today, the Sixth, Seventh, and Ninth Street Bridges are named in honor of Roberto Clemente, Andy Warhol, and Rachel Carson, respectively.

All three bridges were built by American Bridge and the Seventh and Ninth Street Bridges opened in 1926 while the Sixth Street Bridge opened up in 1928.
