A 40-foot yellow rubber duck arrived in Pittsburgh on Friday, and people are watching from the Sixth Street Bridge, including a guy who climbed on top of it.

Thousands of people lined the North Shore to watch the duck’s arrival, reported WPXI.

The duck is being called an art installation that is a replica of a duck that appeared in cities including Sydney, Taiwan, and London.

This is the first time a duck has been in the United States.

Each city builds its own duck from plans from the Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, according to WPXI.

This duck will be anchored under the Sixth Street Bridge on Friday night; traffic on the bridge is shut down.

After tonight, the duck will be anchored in Point State Park for about three weeks.
