Talk:Link Bridge

Merge
This article should not have been redirected to Lake Shore Drive. I believe that this is the proper location on wikipedia for this topic. I propose merging the much newer although more substantive Outer Drive Bridge here.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:11, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * P.S. The merger needs to occur with inline citations rather than general references.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree completly with the above, but my only contribution to Outer Drive Bridge was to help wikify what appeared to be a well researched article with a lot of cleanup tagging. FrankFlanagan (talk) 21:35, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Ditto. I remember starting this article after finding a reference to it, but if the common name is "Outer Drive Bridge" (and really, I don't think it has much of a common name at all) then merging the two is fine. &mdash; LpAngelRob (  talk  ) 14:42, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree that we only need one article on the bridge. I prefer Outer Drive Bridge as the article title, but if there were a source for the claim in the lead of this version of the article that 'Link Bridge' is the official name I'd be happy for it to be the title instead.—Jeremy (talk) 00:57, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Some of the national sources refer to Outer Bridge Drive. The has "Outer Drive Bridge Dedication, 1937" as the page title, but text that says Link Bridge (also called the Outer Drive Bridge), which suggest that Link Bridge might have been the more common name.  I am fine with a merge to OBD.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:06, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
