The 16th Street Bridge is one of the more popular bridges in the city of Pittsburgh and provides easy access to the Strip District and the North Shore. Days after the infamous St. Patrick's Day Flood of 1936, reports spread on March 20 that the bridge had collapsed from the pressure of the receding flood waters and debris, prompting Pittsburgh Police Chief Jacob Dorsey to close all city bridges for fear of receding waters and debris weakening or collapsing them. However, the reports were soon discovered to be false.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=I_ZPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=WFUDAAAAIBAJ&dq=superintendent%20pittsburgh&pg=4630%2C5996478 )〕 On July 7, 2013 the structure was named in honor of native historian, author and commentator David McCullough in a bridge ceremony sponsored by Heinz History Center.〔http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-city/david-mccullough-day-schedule-for-sunday-july-7-693824/〕〔http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/breaking/david-mccullough-day-announced-in-allegheny-county-694596/〕 File:16thst from lawrenceville.jpg|View from 31st Street Bridge, with Downtown in background and Heinz loft on left bank File:16th st from the strip.jpg|View from Strip District == See also == *List of crossings of the Allegheny River *National Register of Historic Places listings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David McCullough Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
