http://maps.google.com/maps?cbp=12,175.75237417767164,,0,9.058441558441539&cbll=40.450223,-80.009032&layer=c&ie=UTF8&t=h&panoid=VsY0kJkFUu2y4jf9U0TL2w&ll=40.450131,-80.008997&spn=0,359.983478&z=17


(go forward through the street)

Spoiler:

you get to see the camera hit the bridge

thats why the next two photos after that are black, then its just a new camera from the other side of the overpass.
