The real place

The Fort Duquesne Bridge is a double-deck arch bridge that carries Interstate 279 across the Allegheny River at the Point, where the Allegheny and the Monongahela meet to form the Ohio. It opened in 1969 and is one of the many yellow bridges that give Pittsburgh its nickname, the City of Bridges.

Visiting

Point State Park, at the foot of the bridge, has the big fountain at the meeting of the rivers. For the classic view of the bridges and skyline, ride the Duquesne Incline up Mount Washington.
