The Fifteenth Avenue Bridge is a girder bridge across the Youghiogheny River connecting the Pittsburgh industrial suburbs of Port Vue and McKeesport, Pennsylvania. The 1995 structure replaced a 1906 truss bridge. The bridge's length is significantly longer than that of several surrounding structures because its crosses both the river and a large water treatment facility.
The Youghiogheny River Trail, a portion of the Cumberland, Maryland-to-Pittsburgh Great Allegheny Passage uses the bridge's pedestrian lanes. Through McKeesport, the trail features a designated right of way, while it is officially signed through city streets in Port Vue.
