The city of Pittsburgh is built around the area where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers merge to form the Ohio river, the downtown area actually lying within the triangular regionin the region bounded by the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. As a result of this geography, many bridges have been constructed - 446 at last count!
