Is there enough in the article to warrant adding Wikiproject Utah to its talk page? Best, Tyrone Madera (talk) 02:40, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Importing information on the truss from Capon Lake Whipple Truss Bridge

Would it be a good idea to import some of the information at Capon Lake Whipple Truss Bridge about the Whipple-Murphey truss into this article to provide more context as to its uniqueness and background? Tyrone Madera (talk) 22:57, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Hayden Bridge is a wrought-iron truss bridge that was manufactured by the Phoenixville Bridge Works in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It was built in 1882 and was initially located near Corinne, Utah, crossing the Bear River as part of the first transcontinental railroad. In 1901, the bridge was moved more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) and reassembled at its present location, crossing the McKenzie River in Springfield, Oregon, where it serves as part of the Marcola line for the distribution of lumber. It later closed down due to the closure of the area's lumbermills, until it was converted into a pedestrian bridge in 2019. It is the oldest intact bridge in the state of Oregon. This photograph of the Hayden Bridge was taken as part of a 1990 Historic American Engineering Record survey.
