Leechburg Area Museum and Historical Society
118 1st StSightseeing
Even in a region stitched with bridges, the one between Hyde Park and Leechburg is without peer. The three-span suspension bridge stretches 600 feet across the Kiskiminetas River but is only 4 1/2 feet wide -- wide enough for one person to pass another on foot. That's the only way to cross what locals know as "the walking bridge."
You won't find a footbridge like this over the region's rivers, but then, it didn't start for feet. It was built in 1886 as a railroad bridge, but after floodwaters twice (Johnstown 1889) devoured it, the railroad gave up. A ferry was the only way to cross from 1904 to 1920, when Armstrong and Westmoreland counties used the massive cut stone piers for a narrow foot bridge.
