  • "Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Boulevard (Seventh Avenue)" these both link to the same article?
  • "about the Harlem River's navigability" caused by the dam? More like complaints about the dam's impact on the river's navigability?
    • Fixed.
  • "The Macombs Dam Bridge is the third-oldest major bridge still operating in New York City. The Macombs Dam Bridge..." repetitive.
    • Done.
  • "swing span" and "camelback span/bridge" are overlinked in the infobox.
  • "Construction cost" in infobox, how do we know these are 2019 values?
    • Fixed.
  • Is there no more up to date traffic information than 2016?
  • "third-oldest major bridge" what qualifies it as "major"?
  • Is there an appropriate architectural link for "chord"?
  • Some duplicate links: Jerome Avenue, University Heights Bridge, Ninth Avenue elevated line, swing bridge, Coogan's Bluff...
    • Fixed.
  • "The approach ... Currently the approach" a touch repetitive.
    • Fixed.
  • "Alfred P. Boller" you previously expanded his P.
    • Fixed.
  • " adjacent.[44][40][45] " order.
    • Fixed.
  • "1897 postcard of the eastern approaches to the bridge" avoid starting with a number if possible.
    • Fixed.
  • "while the Yankee Stadium was" do you really need "the" here?
  • "The work, expected to cost $34 million... began a $145 million renovation..." that escalated quickly....!
  • Non-breaking spaces between the number and the million in all cases.
  • "demolished[70] after " could we move that ref to the end of the sentence please.
    • Done.
  • Some spaced hyphens need to be spaced en-dashes in the ref titles.
    • Done.

That's it. An interesting read, thanks. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 11:21, 6 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
