[edit] Why "Salt and Pepper Bridge"?

When I read the part about the locals calling it the "Salt and Pepper Bridge", I immediately wondered why they would call it that. This would be a good thing to include in the article. Also, great pictures, kudos to whoever took them. EdGl 03:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] When was the bridge renamed?

The article states that the bridge was originally known as the Cambridge Bridge and renamed the Longfellow bridge. Does anyone know when this was? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.10.220 (talk • contribs) 2007-04-23, 19:08

[edit] Assessment

Seems to me this article should be assessed as WikiBridges "Mid" importance. How do these articles get assessed? Denimadept 16:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Burned through the "roof" of the bridge?

What does this mean? Did it burn through the bridge deck from below? This is not a covered bridge, so it has no roof. - Denimadept 20:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
