Jonathon Hulton Bridge : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jonathon Hulton Bridge
The Jonathon Hulton Bridge, built in 1908, was the first major bridge designed by Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.〔Kate Luce Angell "Plan presented to save Hulton Bridge" post-gazette.com () December 24, 2009 5:56 am 10/3/2012 http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-east/plan-presented-to-save-hulton-bridge-372845/〕 Spanning the Allegheny River, it connects the eastern Pittsburgh suburbs of Oakmont and Harmarville, Pennsylvania. ==History== The bridge is a Parker Pratt through Truss bridge. These bridges were common in the early 20th century for car and rail traffic.〔Condit, Carl. American Building Art. New York: Oxford University Press, 1961. Print〕 The bridge is named for Jonathon Hulton, one of the first landowners in the Oakmont area. The Hulton family also operated a ferry across the Allegheny River near the current bridge location until its construction. In 1989 the PA Legislature approved the renaming of the bridge in honor of the late Pennsylvania Representative Joseph F. Bonetto. Plaques were unceremoniously attached to the bridge, and three days later they were removed and never seen again. New larger plaques were put in their place confirming that it was indeed the Jonathon Hulton Bridge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pghbridges.com/newkenW/0597-4486/hulton.htm )〕 The Hulton Bridge is currently painted a lavender color, a byproduct of the 1991 refurbishment of the bridge.
