Notes
Significance: This structure is significant for its association with the Pennsylvania Railroad's Brilliant Cut-Off, a bypass through residential neighborhoods around downtown Pittsburgh. The elevated south wye junction, which consists of two curved stone arch viaducts, is an unusual example of the type.
