Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on January 29, 2011.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the Nordhordland Bridge (pictured), designed by Aas-Jakobsen, has no lateral anchorage because of the depth of Salhusfjorden?
On this day...Facts from this article were featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "On this day..." column on September 22, 2011, September 22, 2014, September 22, 2016, and September 22, 2022.

Longest laterally-unsupported span in the world?

[edit]

The article currently claims that the bridge has "the longest laterally-unsupported span in the world". I cannot find any sources for this, however I cannot confirm that this is untrue. If anyone can find a reliable source for this bit of information, feel free to readd it. Arsenikk (talk) 21:31, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against GA criteria

[edit]
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    I made a number of minor copy-edits.[1]
    Complies sufficiently with the MoS, prose is reasonably good.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Well referenced, assume good faith for off-line and Norwegian language sources. Those that I did access supported the cited statements.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Thorough, with unnecessary detail.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    NPOV
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    Stable
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    Suitably licensed and captioned, I love the picture of the bridge in fog.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    An interesting article, I had not realised pontoon bridges of such size had been constructed. I am happy to list as GA. Congratulations! Jezhotwells (talk) 18:41, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
