The Andy Warhol Bridge, also known as the Seventh Street Bridge, spans 884 feet across the Allegheny River, connecting the North Shore and the Central Business District in downtown Pittsburgh. Originally opened on June 17, 1926, it was renamed after Pittsburgh native and pop artist, Andy Warhol, on March 18, 2005 as part of the tenth anniversary celebration for the nearby Andy Warhol Museum. The bridge was built from 1925 to 1928 by architect Stanley L. Roush and engineers Vernon R. Covell, H. E. Dodge, Alfred D. Nutter and T. J. Wilkerson of the Allegheny County Department of Public Works.

Along with the Rachel Carson Bridge and the Roberto Clemente Bridge, it is one of the "Three Sisters Bridges," three parallel self-anchored suspension bridges crossing the Allegheney. They were the first self-anchored bridges built in the United States. The Municipal Art Commission had mandated the bridges all be suspension, but the site conditions didn't allow for typical anchorages. The unusual self-anchored design features heavy anchorages to hold the cable ends and rigid towers to hold the ends apart. The deck girders were originally painted green with the remaining superstructure aluminum grey, but today, like most downtown Pittsburgh river bridges, it is painted yellow.

The Seventh Street Bridge was designated a landmark by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark in 1988.
