The Greenfield Bridge, officially known as the Beechwood Boulevard (Greenfield) Bridge II, is a steel arch bridge located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.[3] The bridge connects the neighborhoods of Greenfield and Squirrel Hill (specifically Schenley Park)[4] across the valley known as Four Mile Run which separates them. The bridge also spans the Parkway East (I-376), which runs along the bottom of the valley.
The current steel bridge is the third bridge at this location. The original wooden bridge was built in 1891 and collapsed in 1921. This was replaced by a concrete arch bridge which was completed in 1923 and demolished in 2015 after falling into disrepair.
