The Eliza Furnace and North Side Trails are separated by about a mile, but only about half the distance is on city streets, the rest is on park walkways and Fort Duquesne Bridge walkways. There are route markers for the connection but it seems that some are missing. To go to the North Side Trail go straight on Fort Pitt Blvd (near the trail end) to Smithfield St, then right to Blvd of the Allies, then left to Commonwealth Drive at the edge of Point Park. Turn right, cross one busy street, then left on a park walkway. Follow this through an underpass, then on the right follow the sign for Fort Duquesne Bridge Walkway across the Allegheny River. During the summer of 2005, there was construction on the north side of the bridge, so it was necessary to go a block to the right after going off the bridge ramp. Turn right by the Roberto Clemente Stadium to the North Side Trail.
