Juneau–Douglas Bridge

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because this was listed as a C-class article. I stumbled upon this when I searched through "C-class Alaska articles." The talk page of the article has only three responses so far.

For the lead section, the article has a concise introductory sentence. It has a brief and concise description, but it may be a bit detailed. The lead doesn't have any information that isn't in the article. Everything so far is related to the topic. All of the content is fairly recent. I noticed that the references were retrieved in 2011. However, I noticed that it referenced "A spring Dolly Varden fishery is situated directly beneath the bridge." Based on the citation, it was from a fly fishing book from 2003. It didn't state a fishery underneath the Juneau-Douglas Bridge. It also referenced "residents of Douglas Island would row across the channel to reach the mainland." It didn't specify which group of Douglas Island residents rowed across the channel. It also didn't specify a roundabout near the exit of the bridge in the article, but a citation does. The article is neutral. There were no heavy biased sites about the bridge. The article wasn't persuading anyone. The sources may be outdated. Some of the citations weren't available for me to click. It would say that it's unavailable. Some of the sources were from State of Alaska websites, even CBJ. One of the citations referenced the measurements of the bridge from a structure gallery. The article is easy to read. There are no grammatical errors. Each of the subsections were organized in the article. The images are a bit appealing but can be updated. One of the images of the bridge was taken on March 3, 2011. The images might've been taken by locals. The images are files from the Wikimedia Commons, which have freely licensed images. The images are well captioned. The conversations in the talk page of this article were from March in 2011. I see only three responses. One of the changes stated that Douglas Island is also a part of CBJ, not just the mainland. Like I said earlier, the article is C-class. It's also a part of WikiProject Alaska.

Overall, the article's overall status is average. The article seems to be inactive due to the responses and citations being from 2011. Some of the information can be updated. The article does talk about the bridge, it's history, and it's surroundings. The article is underdeveloped, but it has potential for improvement.
