Memorial Bridge (Connellsville)
The Memorial Bridge is a structure that crosses the Youghiogheny River, connecting the eastern and western shores of Connellsville, Pennsylvania, US. The bridge was constructed in 1952 as part of a new routing a U.S. Route 119 (US 119) on a four-lane highway around the city center. In 1982, the structure was rehabilitated as part of a decade long widening of the route through Fayette County, that included the creation of a freeway bypass in Uniontown,  to the south. In 2009–10, the road was again reconstructed, this time to accommodate improved pedestrian pathways. The walkways were widened as part of a plan to connect the Great Allegheny Passage, the Washington, D.C. to Pittsburgh trail that runs just past the western bridge approach, to an extension of the small Coal & Coke Trail, which currently runs from Mount Pleasant to Scottdale, Pennsylvania.
