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 (commonly called 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 Bridge, which crosses the Ohio River and connects to the Pittsburgh/South Side|South Side area. To the east of Downtown are two bridges which link the North Side to the Pittsburgh/Strip District-Lawrenceville|Strip District - the 16th St. Bridge and the 31st St. Bridge.
