[3] In December 1986 the bridge was duplicated with a nearly identical second warren truss bridge built by Britton & Kell to carry northbound traffic with the original converted to carry southbound traffic. [4] In June 2014 both were replaced by a single structure to allow heavier trucks to operate. [5] [6] [7] The 1893 bridge was retained as a pedestrian and cycle bridge while the 1986 bridge was demolished. [8] It was named after Robert Fitzgerald.

This made the truss statically determinate, so that forces in the structural members could be calculated. There are very few surviving Wichert Truss bridges, including one other example in Pittsburgh, the Charles Anderson Memorial Bridge.
