Rochester–Monaca Bridge

The Rochester–Monaca Bridge/Monaca–Rochester Bridge is a steel through continuous truss bridge which crosses the Ohio River between Monaca, Pennsylvania and Rochester, Pennsylvania.

It opened in 1986 and is the third bridge to occupy the site.

From 1987 to 2009, the bridge was named each year in honor of the winner of the Rochester vs. Monaca high school football game.

[1] In 1988, the Rochester Manager Ed Piroli and Monaca Manager Tom Stoner made a bet signed with a handshake that gave the naming rights of the bridge to the winning team of that year.

[2] With Monaca High School's merger into Central Valley High School, the 2009 game was the final game to determine naming rights.
