2008?[edit]

According to our local newspaper in Lake Village, AR the bridge won't open till 2009. So I'm changing it to 2009. If someone has better info, put it in the article. -- :) Chetblong 01:34, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I finally found what I heard locally, the new opening day will be July 28. For reference, here is a link: http://www.johnweeks.com/river_mississippi/pages/lmiss07.html

About half way down the page shows the new opening date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.106.57.78 (talk) 01:49, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures[edit]

I have many pictures of the New Greenville Bridge. Would love to post them if I knew how any help with doing so would be greatly appreciated. Vharris65 18:26, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opening[edit]

The actual bridge opening was August 4, 2010. Bad weather delayed some additional pavement work at one of the approaches, causing the July 28 date to be missed. I had heard (but not confirmed) that there was a ribbon cutting planned for July 26, 2010.

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    • The sentence "It was built to replace the first bridge to connect the two towns, the Benjamin G. Humphreys Bridge, which had become functionally obsolete, being a narrow, two-lane road with no shoulders." is choppy and needs to be reworded.
    • Make sure to add metric conversions to measurments, such as in the sentence "The outside shoulders are 12 feet wide and the inside shoulder is 8 feet."
    • The sentence "Additionally, with river traffic increasing, the bridge suffered escalating damage from barge collisions until by 1972 the Greenville Bridge was hit more times by barges than any other bridge on the Mississippi" reads awkward and appears to be a run-on.
    • The sentence "Both the old and new bridges are geographically mostly in Arkansas, as the state lines were determined prior to the shift west of the Mississippi River." may better fit in the description section than the history.
    • There are several short paragraphs in the construction section that can be combined.
    • In the construction section, it says the bridge opened on July 28, 2010 and then later says August 4, 2010. Which date is correct?
    Done -changed wording, combined paragraphs, added conversion templates, removed inaccurate date, moved sentence as suggested.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Reference 2 appears to be a WP:SPS and needs to be replaced.
    Done - removed reference. Material already referenced and didn't need a backup reference.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  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):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

I will place the article on hold for some fixes to be made. Dough4872 03:30, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
