Statistical errors
This article has factual errors in its statistics. First off, neither bridge is anywhere near the widest bridge on the Mississippi. Combined, their with of 144 feet is narrower than the I-610, I-94, I-694, and I-35W bridges. The I-35W bridge is 36 feet wider. The traffic flow numbers are also in error. Several sources including LA-DOT and the National Bridge Inventory state that the traffic counts are around 130,000 cars per day. There are several bridges on the Upper Mississippi have have higher traffic counts, such as the I-94 bridge that has 157,000 cars per day. The 180,000 per day number from the source quoted was a misprint made by that source. That is 180,000 people per day crossing the bridge at the rate of about 1.4 people per car. The on-line traffic count information from LA-DOT will confirm the traffic counts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.42.129.232 (talk) 04:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Crossings navbox
Hi gang! I'm getting confused by the use of the crossings navbox on this article. It was recently changed from "Bridges of the Mississippi" to "Crossings of the Mississippi and Gulf Intracoastal Waterway." But none of the other Mississippi bridges had their navboxes changed. And why is the GIW included? Shouldn't it have its own navbox? And the addition of ferries to the navboxes doesn't help because none of the ferries have articles -- they essentially break the usefulness of the navbox. SPUI, would you explain some of the reasoning behind the changes? I'm including my questions here rather than your talk page because I think perhaps more of the interested parties watch this page.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting some resolution here. Apologies if it's been talked out elsewhere already. Robshill 11:46, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The crossings format is more useful, I suppose. Then again, I had a problem with rail bridges being lumpted together with road bridges, but not a big enough problem to rv everything. I do believe ferries are encyclopedic, and that stubs can be made for those particular ferry crossings. &mdash; Rob (  talk  ) 15:14, 8 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree that the Intercoastal Waterway needs to be a seperate navbox if its going to be included. As for ferries, they haven't been included anywhere else along the Mississippi River, but I'm not opposed to their presence.  I suggest that a discussion be started on List of crossings of the Lower Mississippi River or List of crossings of the Upper Mississippi River to develop a consensus about whether ferries should be included.

New oil spill
Should this be mentioned here? Massive fuel spill closes part of Mississippi River - Denimadept (talk) 20:55, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd say no, the oil spill really doesn't have anything to do with the bridge other than having occurred nearby. The bridge did not contribute to the accident, nor has it been affected by the spill.  VerruckteDan (talk) 12:56, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
