Maybe I’m wrong and this is the old now defunct footbridge into that neighborhood. I apologize if that’s the case. Jones and Laughlin steel was the predominant employer in the area

You’re correct, it’s the old foot bridge from 51, over the tracks, and into the mill. My grandfather took that bridge to work 35 years. This really brings back memories!

Amazing. Both of my grandfathers worked there through the 60s and 70s. I grew up in monaca. A stones throw from there. Remembering when 51 was a dangerous, poor draining two lane road!
