[edit] Opening Date

The Conn-DOT page here says that the bridge was completed in 1907. However, websites here & here say the bridge was completed in 1908. I'm not sure where the 1906 date given in the article comes from, but since the sources say that construction began in 1903, perhaps 1906 is the date the bridge opened to traffic, even before it was completed? Anyone know for sure? --Elipongo 00:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

The 1906 date is from the National Bridge Inventory. The structure number is 00980A. --Polaron | Talk 02:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I've got the different dates figured out now. It says here that the arches were completed in 1906. Here it points out that the bridge was opened for traffic in December of 1907 and that there was a dedication celebration and ceremony in October of 1908. I'll be working this information into the article soon. --Elipongo ^{(Talk|contribs)} 06:44, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
