West End Bridge – Ruth E. Hendricks

A Red Light on the West End Bridge

I don’t like the shaky sensation of the bridge vibrating and feeling movement when you have to stop on it!

The light at the end of the bridge was red today as we left town.

My friend Vincie clued me in on this route to avoid going through the Ft. Pitt Tunnel.

It was Friday afternoon and there was traffic. We were headed for Ohio. Such threatening skies and heavy rain, so heavy we stopped for a bite to eat in West Virginia as we travelled the two hundred miles to Columbus. Happy we got there safely.

Here’s what I saw as we sat at the light-

Bridge Lights on the Allegheny River

Here’s my Square Light Challenge response today. Bridge Lights reflected in the foggy Allegheny River and lights along the River Walk.

While Stopped on West End Bridge

There’s a stop light at the end of the bridge. When it was red, this was my vantage point of the city. Then I was joined by the silver car in the left lane.
