A walk across this local favorite bridge is a must-do, especially when it’s closed to vehicles during sporting events.

Pick a date when the Pittsburgh Pirates or the Steelers are playing a home game and join in the festive crowds strolling across the Roberto Clemente Bridge. Closed to vehicles on baseball and football game days, this walkway across the Allegheny River is lined with street performers and buzzing with sports fans. It’s a fun time for the entire family, even if you don’t have tickets for a game. Baseball is played at PNC Park and football at Heinz Field Stadium.

Roberto Clemente was a baseball star for the Pirates, and the bridge named in his honor is one of the Three Sisters, nearly identical bridges with the other two named for legendary Pittsburgh residents Rachel Carson and Andy Warhol. Each bridge is painted gold, as the city’s official colors are yellow and black. These bridges are the only trio of parallel suspension bridges in the United States. The sweeping shape of their design is unusual too it’s a result of steel eyebars being used instead of cables during construction.

The original bridge on this site was constructed in 1859 and was known as Sixth Street Bridge. However, higher traffic demands saw the need for rebuilds, with the most recent being in 1927.

Crossing the bridge, you’ll experience the city’s best views of PNC Park. At night, the bridge glitters with blue lights shining along its graceful curves and extending into the stadium. This makes for a spectacular photo from one of the nearby skyscrapers.

Access to the Roberto Clemente Bridge is via Sixth Street. The bridge is open 24 hours a day.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,113 reviews)

The pool is either very dirty or stained black. Housekeeping took dropping off towels one morning as an excuse to not clean the room at all that day. Room service takes the phone off the hook and doesn't answer. Go downstairs and order the food yourself, they tell you to come back downstairs 9 floors and fetch it yourself or wait. The AC unit was old, was in disrepair and froze over at 3AM. Hotel front desk the next day would not even radio to find out if the repairs had been made and told my wife to let them know if the room was still hot after we left to give them time to make the fix. Just absolute disregard for any guest that's not in a wedding party drinking in the lobby.

8.2/10 Very Good! (3,593 reviews)

Had 3 rooms and things were very inconsistent between them. Two of the rooms had only 1 bath towel, the 3rd room had 3 bath towels, 1 room had 2 chairs, the others had only 1 - all rooms had 2 double beds. The office chair in the room was on the verge of breaking. One room was 10 floors directly above the pool but had a VERY strong pool smell. Thermostat in 1 room worked to raise the temperature but didn't work to lower it. After raising the temp a bit, everything in the room became damp. Staff members were very friendly. Amenities were nice, lobby was clean.
