Some of the text in the future crossing section seems to be promoting the northern crossing as the best option, indeed the article does mention that that crossing is considered the "most sensible", but that doesn't really belong either. The most interesting thing I noticed is that someone completely removed any mention of cons for that crossing, it only lists pros now. I do believe that the final report from the task force will be out next month, and that will be the best time to fix this up. Until then someone needs to balance out the POV of that section at least a little. -Jeff (talk) 02:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
The section has now been split to 2005 Chesapeake Bay crossing study ( talk page). -Jeff (talk) 18:11, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Given this article's status as a B-class article I'd like to see if we can improve it further. If we can get enough people on this task hopefully it can reach GA or even FA status. I added a to do list, so if you see anything on there that can be done do it, and if you can think of anything else that can be added/improved add it to the list or do it yourself. -Jeff (talk) 04:09, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I believe the nicknames for the Bay Bridge should all redirect to William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge, since it is the official name. -- Vees 05:32, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
if you buy a book of "everyday" passes in advance, they are cheaper than the full price fare. It is 12 for 25 dollars. WillC 12:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
It looks like the Bay Bridge now has an official logo, I noticed it while looking at baybridge.com. The front page there includes the logo for the 2007 Bay Bridge walk, and it also includes a link to a PDF file about private driveovers. Although the PDF file is on a topic unrelated to the bridge walk, it includes a very similar logo. I just thought I'd bring this to this article's editors' attention. I also think we should hold off on including the logo in this article for now, since it seems the logo has gone through a few different iterations. I'm guessing a more final version will be included on the redesigned site when it launches later this spring. -Jeff (talk) 03:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of October 19, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
Some of the external links fail WP:EL, refs are formatted inconsistently, and there are some MOS:NUM errors.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a Good article reassessment. Thank you for your work so far. O 2 ( 息 • 吹) 21:49, 19 October 2007 (GMT)
To help meet the "broad in coverage" GA standard, I'm using this section to contain some important facts related to the bridge that belong in the article, but don't have citations and/or don't currently fit into the article. Feel free to add some more. -Jeff (talk) 16:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Since I made two typos in my edit summary, I should clarify here. The bridge is operated by the Maryland Transportation Authority, which is abbreviated MdTA. MTA is the abbreviation for the unrelated Maryland Transit Administration. -Jeff (talk) 22:23, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
4.914 miles (25,950 ft; 7,908 m), 4.914 miles (25,950 ft; 7.908 km) or 4.314 miles (22,780 ft; 6,943 m), 4.314 miles (22,780 ft; 6.943 km). So what is it? Peter Horn User talk 22:32, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
"Two main spans over the bay's two shipping channels: 3,200-foot (975 m) suspension span over the western channel with a maximum clearance of 186 feet (56.7 m); A through-truss cantilever span over the eastern channel with a maximum clearance of 58 feet (17.7 m)". For each span clearance beneath is listed. Your height in a vehicle will be so much higher. I have drive this a few time. My perception - especially when driving east, I would have expected a much higher clearance for east through-truss cantilever span span (but of course still lower than other span). When it comes to vehicle height - or deck height - how low is the lowest between the two spans? Wfoj3 ( talk) 18:48, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
The May 10, 2007 incident was a 7 car crash that killed 3 people on the bridge. I'd say thats worth putting on here right? -- Akemi Loli Mokoto ( talk) 16:52, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Rated it High-importance as the criteria for High include "bridges that cross a major waterway that carries a major (rail)road". The Chesapeake Bay itself is pretty well-known, and US 50 is a pretty important highway in the state, so... Yeah. *nod* — Onore Baka Sama( speak | stalk) 13:11, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
The given source doesn't support the comment about "ostensibly". Perhaps checking a dictionary and then rephrasing the remark (or adding a source) is the way to proceed. TEDickey ( talk) 18:12, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
