Biographical History
The Northern Liberties Bridge Company was chartered by the state of Pennsylvania in 1836 to build a bridge from Mechanics Street (later renamed 16th Street) in the Borough of Northern Liberties (incorporated into Pittsburgh in 1837) to span the Allegheny River. The bridge, called the Mechanics Street Bridge, was completed in 1838. It was damaged by fire in 1851 and flood in 1865, and burned again in 1918. Today, the 16th Street Bridge stands where the Mechanics Street Bridge use to be, connecting the North Shore to the Strip District.
