Description
Prior to the Renaissance I wharfing project, the facing of river, lake or sea walls and embankments with planks driven as piles and secured by ties was very common on the three rivers. All wharfing leases with the Department of Forest and Water were canceled on March 18, 1954, to make way for the construction for the sub-structure of the Fort Pitt Bridge, which opened on June 19, 1959. Note the Ship Cafe in the right background.
