Fall colors peak as a Duquesne Incline cable-car travels down Mount Washington overlooking the confluence of Pittsburgh, Oct 27, 2023. The Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District manages the upper 127 miles of the Ohio River and the drainage basins of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers which join at the Point in Pittsburgh to form the Ohio River. The three rivers that make up the Port of Pittsburgh are used to carry raw materials, bulk and manufactured goods for many industries in the region. It is the second-busiest inland port and the second-busiest port of any kind in the nation.
