The Neville Island Bridge is a tied arch bridge which carries Interstate 79 and the Yellow Belt across the Ohio River and over Neville Island, west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[1]

Construction

Opening in 1976, after five years of construction, the Neville Island Bridge was the last link to finish on the 180 mile long I-79. It is also the second longest single spanning bridge in Allegheny County. The engineers who built it were the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDot), making it with a 125' arch.[2]

Improvements

During 2010 PennDot completed a $20.8 million improvement of I-76, Neville Island Bridge as well as other intersections.[3]
