With regard to suggestions above:

• "bridge-causeway"? I'd think the Pulaski Skyway would just be a really long bridge, as causeways are generally supported by earth rather than piers.

Category:Causeways appear to include numerous structures of similar type

• "The landmark structure", WP:PEACOCK.

Landmark aptly describes the structure, designated by NRHP, and referred to as such:http://www.northjersey.com/news/road-warrior-old-pulaski-rollercoaster-will-continue-to-ride-1.415651?page=all

• The sentences "The landmark structure has a total length of 3.502 miles (5.636 km). Its longest bridge spans 550 feet (168 m)." should probably be combined.

not necessarily as the the separate ideas derive no benefit from combining

• "federal and NJ state registers of historic places", maybe spell out New Jersey here.

fixed; it is clearly established that the Skyway is in NJ

• Source needed for "Route 1 again in the 1953 highway renumbering in New Jersey."

Is there one?

• Source needed for "providing access at the Marion Section (southbound entrance and northbound exit only) of Jersey City and South Kearny (northbound entrance and southbound exit only)." Also the parentheses and ordering is awkward.

countless road articles in route description mention places w/o references; why here? Many appear to be from observations taken from maps and satellite imagery; info is pertinent, while pertinent, is non-esstenial, thus parenthetical

• Perhaps should mention what roads the ramps provide access to.

Would seem to add unessential information into an already long article. An exit list has been previously deleted by consensus:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pulaski_Skyway&diff=389106688&oldid=389090659

• I think the sections could be organized a little better. I would move the first paragraph of the Design and construction section to the Description section, as it serves as a description of the bridge, and would put the Design and construction, Labor issues, Truck and other safety issues, and Rehabilitation sections as third-level headers in a History section.

please do so

• "Except for crossings over Jersey City rail lines and the Hackensack and the Passaic", should indicate the Hackensack and Passaic are rivers.

It is clearly established that the Hack and Passaic are rivers; it is common to call rivers "the"

• The sentences "The concrete jacketing of the steel was removed from the plans since it would make the taller fixed bridges heavier. This resulted in more maintenance." should be combined.
• Source needed for "However, tolls were never implemented."

remove?

• The sentence "During the mid-1920s, redevelopment of Journal Square, Brandle's Labor National Bank, founded in June 1926, acquired a new 15-story headquarters, the Labor Bank Building." is choppy and awkward.

fixed

• "In January 2013, NJDOT announced that work on the $335 million projects for repaving and restoration of the roadway would begin at the end of 2013", 2013 used twice in sentence

announcement in January; "end of year" would not be specific enough, thus named "end of 2013" consistent with Wikipedia:DATED

• The fifth paragraph in the Rehabilitation section is large and needs to be split.

split

• "NJ Transit" should be spelled out as New Jersey Transit for consistency.

fixed

• "In April 2015, NJDOT said that unforeseen additional repairs would be made extending the completion date and adding $14 million in costs.", when would the completion date be extended to?

Per source: "Construction began a year ago, and was expected to be finished by April 2016. A new completion date has not been determined yet."

• References 3 and 103 are dead links.

ref 3 de-linked, 103 not dead link

• The Google Maps reference of Jersey City should be refocused to better show the skyway.

Good map for claim being made: Google Maps includes the Route 139 eastern approach.

• Reference 90 should have the city added to be consistent.

location= Hoboken, NJ added

• Reference 106 appears to be a blog and is not a reliable source.

removed

• Reference 109 appears to be a fansite and is not a reliable source.
