"At the time of its construction, the Queensboro Bridge was the greatest cantilever bridge in the world." Greatest how? Tallest? Longest? --Roy 02:15, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Does anyone have the words "pedestrians and" covered by the 1st non-info box image? I'm running firefox @ 1360x1024. It goes away if I make my window smaller.

[edit] Infobox image

I have replaced the prior image in the infobox. I don't think that the previous image (Image:Queensborobridge closeup.jpg) really said anything about the bridge at all; first and foremost, it was a picture of Midtown Manhattan—the bridge just happened to be there. It was not the prominent subject at all, and thus I don't feel that it was appropriate for this article. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 16:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Image

I replaced the image here with an aerial photo I took from 30 stories up. I wanted to show more of the structure and the approaches, as well as the scale of the bridge. Also, there was already a night-time photo in the article. This is the old one. -- --K72ndst 04:05, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
