Guidelines
The basic Wiki guidelines should be followed normally. The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and Pulaski Skyway serve as good models.

Introduction
The introduction sentence should include what type of bridge it is, what it spans (river, canyon, etc.), and where it is located:


 * bridge is a bridge type that spans body of water/land between city, state and city, state. (Notableinformation here, like if it's oldest/tallest/largest of its type).  It was built in year by agency responsible for construction and was designed by notable engineer or firm.

Images and media
Please upload media to Wikimedia Commons so that it can be used across all Wikipedia projects easily. If there are many pictures a gallery at the bottom of the page is an option to consider.

Categorization
The article should be included in the category for the type of bridge that it is (example Category:Suspension bridges). It should also contain a category based on location, such as Category:Bridges in New York (state)

There has been much discussion at Wikipedia talk:Categorization and on this talk page about the best way to organize articles within categories. For this project we will place all bridge articles in a category based on location (by nation for countries not yet with a lot of bridge articles where subdivision hasn't happened (Category:Bridges in Japan), or small countries with relatively few bridges (Category:Bridges in Singapore)), or states/provinces for larger countries (Category:Bridges in New York (state)). If these categories are further divided amongst subcategories, the articles will remain included within the larger category (For example: all the bridges in Category:Toll bridges in New York (state) and Category:Bridges in New York City will be included in Category:Bridges in New York (state)). This makes the category pages the easiest to navigate at the price of adding slightly redundant categories on the individual articles. This has been found to be the best solution until MetaWiki supports the inclusion of subcategory articles within parent category pages.

Infoboxes

 * Template:Infobox Bridge is the prefered infobox for individual bridges and works best for users if it is at the top of the page. There are instructions on how to use it on the template page.  Template:BridgeTypePix should be used for bridge design types.

Why write an article about this bridge?
A good article should contain as much of the following, and more, as possible: WHAT is this bridge? The more you can put into an article, the more references (more references mean more people care), the more data in general, the less susceptible to an AfD the article is.
 * How long/wide/high/tall is it?
 * What sort of construction is it? (see bridge types, below) Made of what? Concrete, steel, reinforced spittle?
 * When was it built?
 * Why was it built?
 * Who built it?
 * What precedes it? That is, any previous bridges on that site?  Maybe a ferry?
 * What context is it in? Any history?  Battles or other events?
 * What kind of effort went into it?
 * Provide a picture! Or several!
 * What are its coordinates?
 * What makes it worth an article?

=Broadway Bridge (Daytona Beach)=
 * http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.dot.state.fl.us/structures/botm/archive.htm

The new Broadway Bridge is a segmental bridge that spans the Halifax River and Intracostal Waterway in downtown Daytona Beach, Florida, carrying U.S. Route 92.

The Broadway Bridge reaches a height of 65 feet (19.9 m) and is 3,008 feet (917 m) in length. The bridge is more famous for its flair than its purpose. Mosaics of manatees, dolphins and other wildlife native to Florida give the bridge some tourist appeal.

The bridge was dedicated on July 20th, 2001.

First Bridge
Plans for the original Broadway Bridge were approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers on May 4th, 1912. Michael Sholtz (father of future Governor David Sholtz), President of Central Florida Railway Company, petitioned the Corps for the new bridge which he planned to use for his company's electric trolley system, that would connect the cities of Daytona, Daytona Beach, and Seabreeze (separate cities at the time, before consolidating in 1926) across the Halifax River.

The bridge was simply referred to as the concrete bridge for many years, until it started to be called the Broadway Bridge. It likely picked up the name because it connected to Broadway Avenue (now named International Speedway Blvd.) on the beach side.



Second Bridge
By 1947, the Broadway Bridge was carrying traffic for a spur of Florida State Road A1A and Florida State Road 600. The Florida State Road Department determined a new four lane drawbridge was needed to replace the old structure. Tidewater Construction Corporation of Norfolk, Virginia, was awarded the contract to construct the bridge, and started work on February 6, 1947. The overall length was 1777 feet with a channel span of 104 feet, allowing 90 foot clearance with the double leaf bascule (drawbridge) open.

The second Broadway Bridge over the Halifax River was officially opened on November 8, 1948, and dedicated in honor of Robert T. Carleton, Road Department member of the Fifth District and Elmer Blank, Volusia County Commissioner. Although the name "Carleton-Blank Bridge" appeared on state maps, the local community continued to refer to the structure as the Broadway Bridge.



Third Bridge
By 1999, the drawbridge had aged and became expensive to maintain. The Department of Transportation decided it was time to build a new bridge. Figg Engineering Group won the contract bid to design the new bridge.

Broadway Bridge crosses the Halifax River near the famed speedway, linking the downtown to the beaches. The design was developed in community design charettes led by Linda Figg. Participants voted on a theme of "Timeless Ecology" which was manifested in many ways; the most unique are the glass tile mosaics depicting wildlife native to the area. Piers are wrapped in mosaics of dolphins and manatees, seahorses and crabs, representing the sea life in the Halifax River. As pedestrians cross the bridge, they experience 18 different wildlife mosaics, one at each of the span segments, approximately 262’ apart. The handrail is unique and carries a wave pattern, also found on the pier mosaics.

First bridge
The first bridge at this location was built by the Port Orange Bridge Company (owned by S. H. Gove) in 1906, made of sable palm pilings and pine bridge timbers. In 1918, Gove offered to sell the bridge to Volusia County. The bridge was severely damage by a hurricane in 1932, and was torn down. Port Orange was without a bridge for many years after the disaster.

Second bridge
A wooden bascule bridge was finally built here as a replacement in 1951. The two-lane drawbridge was paid for with tolls. The bridge connected the two ends of Dunlawton Avenue, from the mainland to the beach peninsula.

Third bridge
After the drawbridge had aged and was expensive to maintain, it was replaced in 1990 by a new four-lane high bridge, which carries Florida State Road A1A over the river. The Florida State Legislature designated the new bridge as the Congressman William V. Chappel Jr. Memorial Bridge.
