  • Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine
    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 58 October 1975 Number 4 A TRINITY OF BRIDGES: The Smithfield Street Bridge Over the Monongahela River at Pittsburgh James D. Van Trump — first river bridge that— over the Monongahela River Pittsburgh'sat what is now Smithfield Street is, historically speaking, three bridges built successively at the same site by a trinity of famous American bridge engineers, Lewis Wernwag, John A. Roebling, and Gustav Lindenthal, all of whom had been born in Germany and thus had learned their technology from that early and famous fountain of engineering.

As the community developed, some kind of ferry service became mandatory, and in 1818 Jones's Ferry operated between the foot of Liberty Street in Pittsburgh to the south bank of the Monongahela.
