concrete or iron suspension bridge?[edit]

Under "History" we are informed that the iron bridge of 1862 in 1925 had to make way for a new concrete bridge. And then we read that Elgin Bridge is known as thih tiau kio in Hokkien, meaning "iron suspension bridge". Could someone please resolve/clarify this contradiction? --Vsop.de (talk) 22:32, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Elgin Bridge → Elgin Bridge, Singapore – There is a much older bridge (opened in 1896) with the same name in India i.e. Elgin Bridge, Barabanki. This page should be turned into disambiguation page listing both Barabanki & Singapore Elgin Bridges. Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider^tc_s 20:38, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support but shouldn't it be Elgin Bridge (Singapore) ? Parentheses, not a comma? --MelanieN (talk) 00:41, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Elgin Bridge (Singapore) per Wikipedia convention, though Elgin Bridge, Singapore should definitely exist as a redirect ; the current title should become a disambiguation page -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 23:04, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Elgin Bridge (Singapore) with Elgin Bridge, Singapore as a redirect option is better,--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider^tc_s
Comment While we are at it, shouldn't we move Elgin Bridge, Barabanki to Elgin Bridge (Barabanki) ? --MelanieN (talk) 04:20, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As creator of the areticle Elgin Bridge, Barabanki, I don't have any issue moving the article to Elgin Bridge (Barabanki). Infact I'll do it now.--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider^tc_s 11:40, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done Elgin Bridge, Barabanki to Elgin Bridge (Barabanki).--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider^tc_s 11:44, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
