Disputed fact - width

edit

There is no way this bridge is only 36 feet wide. It has four lanes and wide sidewalks on both sides. The lanes are narrow but no less than 8 feet each, which gives 32 feet, plus two sidewalks that are at least six feet each, plus the concrete railing of over a foot thick per side. More likely the lanes are 9 feet each and 36 refers to the road deck with. This needs to be specified, especially for a historic bridge the total width is more notable as it pertains more to the infrastructure. B137 (talk) 15:19, 5 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
