Davis Area Bridge Groundbreaking Ceremony

The City is pleased to announce a groundbreaking ceremony for the Davis Avenue Bridge reconstruction project on April 11 at 11:00 a.m. on Riverview Drive at 899 Davis Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15212 (the park side of the old Davis Avenue Bridge).

The Davis Avenue bridge reconstruction project aims to reconnect the Brighton Heights neighborhood to Riverview Park. The new bridge will function as a bike and pedestrian bridge and feature modern building designs, materials, and insights, while emulating the aesthetic established by the prior bridge.

More event details are available on the City’s Facebook event page.

Arbor Day

Arbor Day is a family-is event sponsored by Friends of Riverview Park, the City of Pittsburgh, and Tree Pittsburgh. The goal is to create an opportunity for people to get to know Friends of Riverview Park, build momentum for the declaration of Riverview Park as an Arboretum, celebrate the environment, educate kids about the importance of caring for trees, animals and green spaces, and to park users and people from the surrounding neighborhoods together to have fun in the park.

In addition to those activities, the artist collective Sans  façon (Tristan Surtees & Charles Blanc) and Steve Gurysh will be back in Pittsburgh for a formal launch of their art project, “Pictures of the Future”.
