[edit] Height

Both the article and the DRBA website [1] both describe the span as "440-foot-high." Assuming "span" means the roadway level, this seems extremely high (I didn't think suspension bridge spans are higher than 200 feet or so). I imagine that the height refers instead to the support towers. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:29, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, it's 174 feet below the bridge (I just added the relevant NBI data and infobox). --SPUI (talk) 22:09, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
