Article Should Be Split
The present article discusses two different bridge crossings that co-existed from 1930 to 1963, and third further upstream. Had they been purely sequential (i.e. rebuilds at the same site), this merged article might make sense. However, the 30+ year overlap negates that. There is certainly enough material for the split.

I think Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge should just be information about the older series of spans ("first" through "fourth") that existed until 1963. Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge (Columbia, Pennsylvania) should be merged into that CWB article. And of course there would be an about at the top to point to the "fifth" and possibly "sixth". The "fifth bridge" information should be moved back to Veterans Memorial Bridge (Columbia, Pennsylvania). Wright's Ferry Bridge should only be mentioned briefly as necessary and extra "sixth bridge" info merged back into that article. --J Clear (talk) 18:35, 29 November 2008 (UTC)


 * If your assertions are correct, then please go ahead and do the appropriate mergings and splitting.  SilkTork  *YES! 17:54, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I will probably not get to that. I've been staring at my latest work in progress for months and only been making spot edits here and there.  If you think it's still worthwhile, you should leave the split template in there and perhaps someone else has more round-tuits.  --J Clear (talk) 02:29, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the only person I am aware of who is dealing with the Split requests is myself. If a discussion does not develop soon after tagging, then the tag remains on the article without any action being done until I get to it. You are the person who feels that some action needs to be taken, and if your assertions are correct then there is nothing to prevent you from going ahead and doing those actions; nobody has objected, and there is no need for admin action. However, I am unwilling to do those actions myself as I don't know the topic, so it would mean researching into the history of all the bridges concerned to ensure what I was doing is correct. If you don't feel that the situation is important enough for you to do it, and nobody else has felt like doing it in the 18 months since the article was tagged, then I am quite happy to leave things as they are, with a record on the talkpage of the request and response.
