New enough, long enough, QPQ done. Image is fine and appropriately licensed. Article is neutral (just removed one MOS:PEACOCK word, but that didn't affect neutrality) and otherwise policy compliant. Just one question about the hook: The article says "Each arch is made up of six segments (or ribs), which were pre-cast [...] and bolted together". Two arches of six ribs each makes three? —Kusma (talk) 11:47, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Kusma: double-checked the soyrce and six is correct. I've fixed the hook. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:38, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, good to go now. —Kusma (talk) 15:49, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
