The robert Clemente is one of three beautiful bridges that one can walk across the river.
The walk is great and provides a great avenue for pictures on or across the Allegheny river.
Great history in the bridges and so wonderful to have the opportunity to use such transit system.
The ninth street bridge is under construction but do not fret there are plenty others.
So take a walk on the high side.

While walking over the bridge, we noticed many padlocks on the bridge's fencing. After asking around, and a bit of online research, it turns out that they are "Lovelocks". Couples write their names on a lock, attach it to the bridge, and throw the key into the river. As explained by Christina Passariello in an online article about lovelocks: "The lovelock phenomenon came to Paris five years ago [and has since spread]. Most observers date the phenomenon to an Italian teen novel titled 'I Want You', published in 2006, featuring two Roman lovers who immortalized their bond on a bridge in the Eternal City and threw the key in the Tiber."
Huh... learn something new every day.
Other than that bit of interest, the view of the city from the bridge was beautiful. It was nice to have a safe walking path from our hotel to the National Aviary. We visited while it was cold, but I imagine that the bridge must really come alive with people in the nicer weather.

My hotel was in Pittsburgh down town and used to cross this bridge at least 3 times a day to go to city for food and fun. And i came to know that i loved to be on this bridge. I loved it. Great view of the river and the city. You stand here in the evening and see the reflection of the city lights in river water and get mesmerized. And for the couples, please do not forget to take a lock with you. Just add one in thousands already hanging on the bridge safety grill as a memorial of the love , locked forever.

What can be said about a bridge in a city of bridges? This bridge is one of the "Three Sisters," identical bridges across the river, and very near each other. The three are: 1) The Rachel Carson Bridge, 2) The Andy Warhol Bridge, and 3) The Roberto Clemente Bridge. All three bridges are exactly the same, but you have to go over each if you want to travel each of the over 400 bridges in this town.

We are proud to name a bridge after Roberto Clemente, but for gosh sakes, it's just one of a dozen yellow bridges in Downtown Pittsburgh! Walking across it will take you to the Northside--not an area to wander around aimlessly--it can be quite dangerous! This bridge is located on very high traffic Downtown streets, and there is NOTHING to it to even walk to it--you cannot stop a car there--and Downtown parking is too expensive if that is your only goal--to get pictures--you must be on foot, or across the street. Definitely not worth the time, or the risk.

Great views, great part of a lovely urban walk. It's neat to see all the locks on the bridge, and think of of all the friends, lovers, spouses who have commemorated their feelings.

Roberto Clemente bridge is a beautiful bridge - one of many to enter Pittsburgh, PA by. However this bridge is special as it is next to PNC park- the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates Major League Baseball team. On game days this bridge is closed off so all baseball fans can walk across the bridge en mass. Street performers play for tips. Park in town to save money and walk the bridge to the game. Worth the effort. It's a real treat.

If you're driving in for a Pirates game, park in the city and walk across the Clemente bridge, the views are great and it's a nice easy Walkman

If you go to a Pirates game, park in town and walk the bridge to the stadium. It is closed to cars on game day so you'll have time to stop, take pictures of the stadium, the city and down our rivers. They is usually music being played (tip the guy) and you can buy cheap baseball hats and "t's" at the foot of the bridge. Finally, make sure you pay homage to the 2 statues where the bridge ends...ROBERTO CLEMENTE (The Great One) and POPS, WILLIE STARGELL....Great Sports history!

It's near my office. Offers some great views of downtown and the river. It's nice in the spring and late fall, when the sunsets are really gorgeous.

What hotels are within walking distance to this bridge? Thank you!
Written May 3, 2018
The Hilton at the convention center as well as the Drury Hotel are within walking distance. There are several others but I can't recall the names.

Our time is limited, but our hearts big on walking bridges! How long does it take to walk across the Roberto Clemente Bridge? Also, is there a place to park the car, in order to walk over and back? Thanks in advance!
Written December 6, 2016
You can walk across the bridge in twenty or less minutes. As far as parking, to my knowledge street parking is your best bet. I would park on the PNC Park side, as there is more parking available than on the other side.

Is this bridge situated at 6TH St on which also is located Heinz Hall For the Performing Arts at 6TH and Penn?
Is there a closer parking garage than the one at 6th and Penn?
Will that garage likely have vacancy for 8/21/15 7PM Fri eve baseball game?

Is there a parking garage nearer to the RC Bridge than the parking garage at 6TH & PENN?
Thanks, MH

Yes, this is the bridge on 6th street down from Heinz Hall. There is a garage on 6th closer to the bridge.
