A fact from Pasco-Kennewick Bridge (1922) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 2 June 2008.

[edit] NRHP

The article says that because the bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, If the state wanted to demolish the bridge, it would then be subject to a popular vote. There is no such requirement in the NRHP enabling legislation (which is actually quite weak in terms of protection). If there was a requirement, it would have to have been through state or local landmark designation, or was just done as a popular referendum for this instance. (To be true this may be an error in the source, as the NRHP is often misunderstood.) --Dhartung | Talk 21:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that NRHP status caused this. Let me add more detail. howcheng {chat} 23:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

That clears it up nicely. Thanks! --Dhartung | Talk 03:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
