The Birmingham Bridge (known during construction as the Brady Street Bridge[2]) is a bowstring arch bridge that is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and spans the Monongahela River.

It connects East Carson Street on the South Side with Fifth and Forbes Avenues going to Uptown, Oakland, and the Hill District, and was named in honor of the English city of Birmingham and also for the neighborhood it connects to, which was once called Birmingham and is now a part of the South Side.

Many locals also may refer to it by its unofficial name, the 22nd Street Bridge.
