The strange looking metal markers at Washington blvd and Allegheny River Blvd. in Pittsburgh

 As you ride down ARB  Allegheny River Blvd you come to the intersection of Washington Blvd and are greeted by 2 out of place metal monuments that are the entrance way to the City of Pittsburgh  Brilliant Yard Asphalt Plant 


 


What makes them even stranger is the holes in the side of them. so what are they and where did they come from ?

Well these 2 metal monuments where originally railing pieces for a bridge on Murray Ave between Green Field and Squirrel Hill neighborhoods  and when bridge was replaced instead of being discarded they where placed at the plant entrance. 

But Why? good question as I have looked for and not been able to find a good answer .

Now you would think they would have honored the neighborhood where they came from with them but no there at the entrance of a asphalt plant and now you know .
