Did You Know nomination[edit]

Disputed fact - width[edit]

There is no way this bridge is only 36 feet wide. It has four lanes and wide sidewalks on both sides. The lanes are narrow but no less than 8 feet each, which gives 32 feet, plus two sidewalks that are at least six feet each, plus the concrete railing of over a foot thick per side. More likely the lanes are 9 feet each and 36 refers to the road deck with. This needs to be specified, especially for a historic bridge the total width is more notable as it pertains more to the infrastructure. B137 (talk) 15:19, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
