[edit] Tunnel?

Why isn't it a bridge all the way across? -Ravedave 15:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Probably so that ships can continue through the harbor area without the need for a drawbridge or costlier bridgework which ships could pass beneath... but that's just speculation on my part. Exerda 20:05, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Historical names: Merrimack, Virginia, Merrimac

What, pray tell, is this section doing in the article? Seems to be ill-homed here; I could see a (better written) piece to the same point in several other articles, but not for the one here about the bridge! Exerda 20:05, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
