Birmingham Bridge
Opened in 1977, this bridge was meant to be part of a titanic expressway system that would have demolished city neighborhoods for the convenience of suburban commuters, which explains why it seems to be so much more bridge than the location requires. It replaced the two-lane Brady Street Bridge.
Right now the bridge is getting one of its periodic refurbishings.
So far all our pictures of the Birmingham Bridge have been from the southern end. Our last picture is from the north, taken from Fifth Avenue in Soho.

South Side Marina
Recreational boats need a place to live, and more and more boat parking lots are growing closer to the Point.

Liberty Bridge
One of many bridges around here designed by George S. Richardson, the Liberty Bridge opened in 1928, connecting the Liberty Tubes (which had opened four years earlier) directly to downtown. Here we see it from the south shore of the Mon.

The Towboat M. J. Monahan
The towboat M. J. Monahan pushes a big train of coal barges up the Mon. Yes, “towboat” is the correct name for such boats on American rivers, even though they obviously push.
