Third Cape Cod Canal road bridge

(

• ... that a third bridge is currently being planned for the Cape Cod Canal, a concept that dates back to the Southside Connector idea in the 1950s?

• Expanded 5x starting on May 25. The article is long enough (2275 characters). Article appears thoroughly sourced and neutral. No paraphrasing concerns. QPQ requirement met. The citation for your hook appears to state that the Southside Connector wasn't investigated until the 1960s. The bridge that was considered before then was an extension to MA 25, which would connect it to Sagamore Bridge. Could you take another look at your citation for this fact and give your thoughts on how it supports your hook? The citation does not appear to support the specific reference to the Southside Connector that you included in your hook. Please note that this is one of my first reviews, and so a second opinion from an experienced reviewer would be helpful. ~ Rob^Talk 09:50, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

• I will get to that soon, as I have been busy and apparently either never noticed that information change in the article, or it was added later. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 20:53, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

• @BU Rob13: I think I fixed everything and clarified it all, so let me know if you need more information!

• @Ktr101: The article itself has addressed my concern, but you'll need to propose an ALT 1 hook as the original hook contained a factual error. ~ Rob^Talk 06:12, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

• Sorry for not getting on this sooner, as I have been working a lot recently and have barely had time to do anything else, so I will get on it this week. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:26, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

ALT 1 ... that a third bridge over the Cape Cod Canal has been proposed for decades as part of various road projects? Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:33, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

• Hook is cited and accurate. Good to go with ALT 1. ~ Rob^Talk 19:26, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
