Talk:Manette Bridge

Outside of USRD scope

I see that this article has been bounced on and off of the USRD scope, so I will state my reasons for removing it this time.
According to Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads#Scope, the entirety of a numbered route would have to exist on the bridge alone for it to be in the scope of USRD.
Additionally, I checked both sources currently posted. The first says it's not on the state highway system; the second says it's on SR 303 and a project being taken care of by the WSDOT. So, then I checked the SR 303 article, and it and its source say it's apparently not even on the state highway system anymore. Therefore, it has been removed again. —Onore Baka Sama^{(speak | stalk)} 13:31, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

The state has codified the bridge into the state route log. Did you check the RCW I used in my edit summary? --Admrboltz (talk) 16:40, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

I did; it's the first external link in my post there. "Road was once part of the state system; road removed; bridge still maintained by state." This is kind of tricky, since USRD says that the bridge must have a state route designation of its own to be on USRD; otherwise it is out of the scope. My thing is simply that, while it's on the state highway system, there doesn't seem to be a mention of the bridge having a specific state highway number. I don't know if there are any other bridges in the United States not on a state route though maintained by the state (I'm expecting it now but I have no proof), but either the Manette is a very special case or USRD's standards on that need to have better wording. —Onore Baka Sama^{(speak | stalk)} 19:06, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

We don't tag the articles on the Mackinac Bridge or the Zilwaukee Bridge, because although they're famous/infamous sections of I-75 in Michigan, they're not purely a state highway unto themselves. NYSR has even recently purged the "state highway that only exists on a bridge" from its project scope. I think there's ample precedent here that even though the bridge might be state maintained, it's not a state highway and falls outside of our scope. Imzadi 1979 → 20:50, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

I do not see any reason why this bridge should be tagged USRD. Dough4872 21:37, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

This IS owned by WSDOT but NOT part of any "real" highway, it probably has a "secret" number. I don't think it should be under USRD.Jay8g (talk) 01:23, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Replacement

I think this page should be renamed "Manette Bridge (1930) (or similar) and that a new page for the new bridge sholud be made. What do you think? Jay8g (talk) 20:30, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree, since the bridge was fully replaced - similar to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which has a (1940) article for the original bridge and a separate one for the current bridge. CortinariusViolet (talk) 20:24, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
