Bureau Overview
The City of Pittsburgh's bridges safely and efficiently connect 90 distinct neighborhoods into one unified community where we live, work, and play. Their unrivaled scale, variety, and history are recognized worldwide and have proudly earned us our status as “The City of Bridges.”
Our bridges link us back to our industrial heritage while enabling transportation for millions of people and goods traveling today. Whether they cross a secluded park trail or the banks of the Monongahela River, each has a unique design and purpose. The Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) is responsible for oversight and maintenance of 143 bridges owned by the City of Pittsburgh. Our bridges reflect Pittsburgh's long tradition of ingenuity and ambition, which is why we are ramping up our capital projects to rehabilitate and modernize the inventory to better serve Pittsburgh into the future.
This Engage page is intended to provide a brief overview of DOMI's Project Design and Delivery Bureau, Bridge Group and the work we do. Please find below the link to the City of Pittsburgh's bridge website, interactive bridge dashboard, FAQs, or send the team a comment or question which can be responded to by email.
Additional information for each of our capital bridge projects is available as well.
We thank you for your patience as we progress these important projects!
