Alternative name
In my opinion, it would be reasonable to still mention the name "Savannah Bridge" as a name that's also signposted, even if it isn't in common use. That said, if the signs have been taken down, then we can move the mention further down the article. – Minh Nguyễn &#x1f4ac; 01:16, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Original research in comparison of Ravenel/Talmadge/Lanier bridges
Is there any source for a rivalry among Charleston, Brunswick and Savannah over the height and dimensions of their large bridges? Those sections (Talmadge Memorial Bridge; Sidney Lanier Bridge; Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge) seem to be nothing but original research and should be removed if there's no RS indicating these articles need sections comparing them with these specific bridges.

 * I say nuke it. It's been unsourced for ages but I figured maybe bridge nerds knew more, but checking, one of the editors who expanded this back in 2013 doesn't appear to be super-trustworthy (was removing warnings on their talk page as from "sensative liberals" (sic)).

 * Per comment from @SnowFire and lack of other contributions I will delete the sections on each article. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:43, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
