 * 1) The sentence "Formerly a railroad bridge constructed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad in 1855, when the newer railroad bridge just upstream was added, they sold off the original bridge." sounds awkward.
 * 2) The sentence "In the 1932, during the massive state takeover of bridges by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, Darlington refused offers, barganing his way up to $275,000 (1932 USD) before accepting the sale, a far cry from the nearby Belvidere-Riverton and Portland-Columbia Covered Bridge, which were accepted for $60,000 and $50,000 respectively." is long and needs to be split into two.
 * 3) "In the 1932": no "the".
 * 4) "McCracken and his wife had come from the Meyer's Ferry, a local ferry service running for several centuries". "several centuries"? how long are we talking? Was a ferry around when the Native Americans inhabited the area? You need to be more specific.
 * 5) "hefty-sum of a money" sounds awkward.
 * 6) In the same sentence, you use "money" three times. Can you remove the 'for the money" at the end of the sentence?
 * 7) Airedale needs to be disambiguated.
 * 8) "Joint Delaware Toll Bridge Commission" should be "Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission".
 * 9) Change "The next April, 1954," to "In April 1954,".
 * 10) Change the name of the bridge in the crossings navbox.
 * 11) Are there any historical pictures of the actual bridge itself that can be added to the article?
 * Done with all but the 11th one. The images I'd think of using are not in public domain. Mitch 32(A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 20:14, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
