Talk:Frank J. Wood Bridge/Archive 1

Further GA Review notes
Copy changes
 * Consider reorganizing this article so that information on prior bridges comes first, then design, chronological history. A lot of this is just sliding pieces into new places in the article.

Lead
 * The lead section could stand to be longer as a summary of the article's contents. See MOS:LEAD for sizing guidance.


 * Citation for "bridge was built to last 100 years" is actually an article that talks about the yet to be built replacement bridge. It does not say anything about how long the FJW bridge was built to last. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Biketopsham (talk • contribs) 01:53, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

 * All structural steel was re-painting should be "repainted".

Design
 * Consider rewriting the list of repairs into prose.

Controversies
 * The contents here should be reorganized in chronological order with the rest of the article.

Spot checks
 * 4: Information on the post-1936 rebuilding is NOT in this article. Why aren't the carloads of ballast in the river mentioned? The reference is missing its page number (9).
 * ✅ Added a new newspaper.com clipping


 * 17: Two-way traffic on the new bridge won’t begin until the latter part of 2025. Additionally, work on new parks on both sides of the new bridge is not expected to finish until early 2026. I would reword the article to mention traffic in 2025, completion including parks in early 2026.


 * It appears that other contractors were involved, not just Crooker;
