[edit] Page Name

If the official name of the span is "Kinzua Viaduct," why not name the page as such? It would certainly eliminate a lot of redirects. Gjs238 11:10, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

  • USGS GNIS has it officially as Kinzua Bridge, with Viaduct as an official variant name, see here. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 14:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

The Kinzua Viaduct bridge was neither the longest nor the highest of its type. Please look up the Lethbridge Viaduct (High Level Bridge, Lethbridge, Alberta) within Wikipedia and compare the dimensions for both height and length. Corrections should be made to this article accordingly.74.39.220.101 17:18, 10 October 2007 (UTC) The Lethbridge viaduct is still standing and still functional with about a dozen train crossings a day.

The Kinzua Bridge was completed in 1882, before the Lethbridge Viaduct. Either way the Kinzua Bridge only held the record for a few years. --​​​​D​​tbohrer​​​​talk•contribs 17:24, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
