OK, when you have sourced info, add it. But do note, what you wrote in the hidden comments did not match what the source says. The source says nothing about Calapooia Street and says nothing about it being one lane. And it does not support most of your previous addition about the old bridge. As I said on your talk page (and hinted at in the previous reversion edit summary), this information certainly belongs, but we need Wikipedia defined reliable sources that provide the full details you want to add (see WP:V), which can come from a variety of sources (as long as there is no synthesis involved).

The bridge went from Calapooia Street. If you look at the aerial view, its pretty clear. I'm not saying add everything I wrote the first time, I'm just saying there ought to be something mentioned. The way its written now, its as if the railroad bridge was the only bridge from the 1880s till the Ellsworth Street Bridge was built, when in reality there was the Calapooia Street Bridge, aka Old Steel Bridge. --RyanTee82 (talk) 00:04, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
