There seems to be some confusion about the collapse date. Online sources including nycroads.com say it was December 16, 1973, but the NY Times article from December 16 begins, "A section of the West Side Highway collapsed yesterday...". Also, the December 17 article says "the collapse of a portion of the northbound section near Little West 12th Street on Satruday." The 15th was a Saturday. --SPUI (talk) 22:56, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Go with the Times, thats more reliable than Mr. Anderson -JGCarter
the bridged section at Canal Street is worth mentioning as a way to cross the filled in outlet of former Lispenard Meadows, which could not support the highway's piers. --Wetman 07:24, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- You seem to know more about that than I do; if you don't mind, can you add that? --SPUI (talk) 08:35, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
