Comments:
- The sentence "Formerly a railroad bridge constructed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad in 1855, when the newer railroad bridge just upstream was added, they sold off the original bridge." sounds awkward.
- The sentence "In the 1932, during the massive state takeover of bridges by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, Darlington refused offers, barganing his way up to $275,000 (1932 USD) before accepting the sale, a far cry from the nearby Belvidere-Riverton and Portland-Columbia Covered Bridge, which were accepted for $60,000 and $50,000 respectively." is long and needs to be split into two.
- "In the 1932": no "the".
- "McCracken and his wife had come from the Meyer's Ferry, a local ferry service running for several centuries". "several centuries"? how long are we talking? Was a ferry around when the Native Americans inhabited the area? You need to be more specific.
- "hefty-sum of a money" sounds awkward.
- In the same sentence, you use "money" three times. Can you remove the 'for the money" at the end of the sentence?
- Airedale needs to be disambiguated.
- "Joint Delaware Toll Bridge Commission" should be "Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission".
- Change "The next April, 1954," to "In April 1954,".
- Change the name of the bridge in the crossings navbox.
- Are there any historical pictures of the actual bridge itself that can be added to the article?
I am placing the article on hold. ---Dough4872 17:15, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Done with all but the 11th one. The images I'd think of using are not in public domain.Mitch32(A fortune in fabulous articles can be yours!) 20:14, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
