Bidgee, This is bullying. Additionally how else do you interprete "It is the oldest bridge in Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and its four central spans are the oldest surviving samples in the service of the innovative timber truss designed by the Australian born engineer Percy Allan." It simply says it is the oldest surviving example. No it doesn't say it is the only 4 span remaining. That is in a different reference though on re-reading this reference, it actually says only known example (see http://www.cmd.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/147585/Heritage_Talk_31.7.pdf).

Regardless information on the Hampden Bridge is false. The first Allan truss was constructed in 1894 (see http://www.cmd.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/148509/Tharwa_Bridge_CMP_reduced.pdf). What is true is that it is the first overhead braced one. Tgs71 (talk) 03:29, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Truss bridge, Allan truss section
Your content doesn't match the source. "the oldest remaining Allan Truss bridge (and the only surviving four span example) is the Tharwa Bridge in the Australian Capital Territory Australia", well that is not the case, other examples exist, some in use for road or pedestrian traffic and some are not. Engineers Australia state this "It is the oldest bridge in Australian Capital Territory", nothing about being the oldest Allan Truss (in Australia) nor the only four span surviving, "and its four central spans are the oldest surviving samples in the service of the innovative timber truss" again nothing about being the oldest and the only four span. Adding misleading content is unhelpful and disruptive. Bidgee (talk) 00:15, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
