Carrie's Landing

Within the next five years, over 10 miles of new trail will be added along the Monogahela completing the span between downtown Pittsburgh and the outskirts of Braddock. While these trails offer a wide variety of destinations and entertainment in themselves, it ends up lacking a “point B” - the ‘urban void’ - at the Braddock trailhead.  To grant more people access to both the newly liberated land (void) and the river along said land, Carrie’s Landing was born.  As a pier, dock and waterfront park, it takes full advantage of the “void” that exists outside of one of the area’s few remaining intact industrial plants, bringing boaters, bikers  and outdoors enthusiasts together in one place.
