North Side is an area of Pittsburgh, just across the Allegheny River from Downtown. In years past it was the independent city of Allegheny, but has long been incorporated into the City of Pittsburgh itself.

From Downtown there are several bridges you can use to cross the Allegheny River. The most direct is I 279 (the Fort Duquesne Bridge), a freeway bridge that will connect directly to the stadium area and with other freeways heading north. Another fast option is the I 579 bridge, another freeway which takes you directly from the Downtown area into North Side. From Downtown directly there are three bridges which carry street traffic the 6th St. Bridge (also known as the Roberto Clemente Bridge), 7th St. Bridge (or the Andy Warhol Bridge), and 9th St. Bridge (or the Rachel Carson Bridge). All three are nearly identical historic steel suspension bridges of an interesting design. Bear in mind that the 6th St. Bridge is closed to vehicular traffic during Pirates and Steelers games.

To the west of Downtown is the West End [url=http://www.brownsofficialnflauthentic.com/authentic-terrance-west-jersey.ht... Bridge, which crosses the Ohio River and connects to the South Side area. To the east of Downtown are two bridges which link the North Side to the Strip District the 16th St. Bridge and the 31st St. Bridge. The 54C will get you directly from the Strip. Four bridges the I 279, 6th St., 7th St., and 9th St. Bridges have pedestrian walkways. During Pirates and Steelers games, the 6th St. Bridge is closed to vehicular traffic, making it a pedestrian bridge.

Some of the highlight exhibits include a model railroad village, an aqarium, a robot exhibit, and numerous theaters and stages for science demonstrations, as well as a large screen theater.

Situated along the Ohio and Allegheny Rivers, this park offers a chance to get close to the rivers and enjoy excellent, unobstructed views of downtown. A trail runs the length of the park, which stretches from the Carnegie Science Center to beyond downtown, and there are numerous lawns and public artworks, as well as boat tie ups and facilities for canoes and kayakers. The Water Steps, just west of PNC Park, is a large interactive fountain which children often play in during the summer. A small island located in the Allegheny River just off the North Shore, Washington's Landing is a small, mixed use community with lovely views of the river and Downtown. A trail runs along the island, and the island is also home to a large marina [11] as well a rowing club [12]. You can get there by driving up Ohio Street to 31st Street and getting off just before the bridge, but another option is to walk or bike up the North Shore Riverfront Trail past Downtown, which allows you to experience a very scenic stretch of river, then enter the island via a pedestrian only bridge at the southern end of the island.
