Braddock’s Crossing
Below this hill, about midday on July 9, 1755, a British army of 1300 made its second crossing of the river and advanced to drive the French from Fort Duquesne. A few hours later, with General Braddock mortally wounded and his army routed, survivors recrossed, pursued by the French and Indians.
Marker is at the intersection of North Duquesne Boulevard (Pennsylvania Route 837) and Hoffman Boulevard, on the right when traveling north on North Duquesne Boulevard.
