Two local media outlets are now saying that the name of this bridge will be St. Anthony Falls (35W) Bridge. [1] [2] Does anyone object to renaming the article to that?-- Appraiser 17:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Should it be Saint Anthony Falls (35W) Bridge? Seems a technicality but consider Saint Paul, Saint Peter, etc. .:davumaya:. 06:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
I went on to check this page about the enw bridge and how it has been progressing and was very disapointed that it hasn't had any major updates to it since October. I have seen the MNDot page on this bridge a few months back and I was hoping someone was getting pictures of the new bridge being built here or would have placed the concept images on the page. Also alot of things about the design has happend since October and needs to be reflected here. Sawblade05 ( talk to me | my wiki life) 13:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Image:St Anthony New Bridge Fly Over.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Isn't this bridge under construction now? If so, the current "future bridge" template should be updated to "Bridge under construction". - Denimadept ( talk) 18:02, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes they are building it right now. -- 75.72.165.109 ( talk) 19:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Why does the article delve so much into the construction companies that lost bids? It seems a bit of a wank job to promote them and their work even though they lost or something. I'm sure it shows how they matched up competitively to the winning bidder, but the selection process as noted in sources relied heavily on their bid submission rather than their portfolio. That's how "objective" bid processes go. .:davumaya:. 19:20, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I bet you there's a Wikipedia editor already on at least one of the teams which is working on the bridge. Bet they've already crossed it, too. :-) - Denimadept ( talk) 18:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
I took this one this morning, trying to beat the large crowds that will be visiting the place later today. The sun was on the wrong side of it, so it's not so good. But it's free. :) Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 14:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
This one has a darker cast to it, hence it's not as washed out, but is also harder to see. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 15:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the pictures. I lightened the second one, uploaded it to Commons, and replaced the drawing in the infobox. Baseball Bugs, please check to see if the license and other information is correct. Thanks.-- Appraiser ( talk) 16:07, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
I think the license info is OK, but I'm not expert on that stuff. I can see why MDNOT had an upstream view. For one thing, the various signs along the 10th Avenue bridge are looking that direction. Also, it's a lot less "busy" of a view than the reality shown here: You have that leftover pier in the foreground (any idea how that was used way back when?), then the catwalk for the spillway and lock, then the I-35W bridge, then the 10th Avenue bridge, all scrunched together thanks to the wonders of photography. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 16:37, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Well in a drawing, they can do whatever they want. Unfortunately, actual photos are going to be cluttered. I saw a really nice aerial one in the Star Tribune, but it's copyrighted. Anyone have an ultralight aircraft?-- Appraiser ( talk) 16:51, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
(deindent) I found a nice Creative Commons set of pictures taken on June 28, 2008 if someone wants to add some detailed free use pictures of the construction. [3] Royal broil 19:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
This article says:
What does the phrase "freeway approaches" mean? Does it mean entrance and exit ramps? If so, what reason is there to think they won't be ready? I've seen them within the last 48 hours and I saw no reason to think they're not ready. Michael Hardy ( talk) 10:00, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Heard on WCCO-AM today that MNDOT says the bridge should open next week. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 22:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
OK, I'm no engineer, so I may be way off base here - but the "wings" on either side of the tops of the supporting pillars look to me like the "weakest link" in this bridge's construction. [4] In effect, they could become the "gusset plates" of this bridge. I'd like to hear from someone who actually knows what they're talking about, and maybe put my mind at ease on this point. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 15:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
MPR article on some of the technology. And MPR sources will not disappear. Kablammo ( talk) 12:01, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
The bridge is open... someone want to find the news banner and replace the construction banner with that for a day or two? Some editing may happen during the day as people find details from the day's news reports. I'll get photos of the bridge this afternoon when the light is right. -- SEWilco ( talk) 11:30, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Someone removed the bit about the Central Corridor Light Rail crossing the bridge with the edit summary of "another route was chosen." I don't believe that's true; as far as I know there are no plans for light rail to cross the river, which would incline me to put the line back in this article. When rail does cross the river, this bridge is certainly a contender for the route. Anyone have information to the contrary?-- Appraiser ( talk) 13:07, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
The article jumps around. It might be better to handle things chronologicially, from planning and funding to construction to opening, and put the deisgn and technology features in one place, probably at the end. The section on possible delays of other projects is a year old-- if it actually did, we need a current reference; if we can't find a reference, the section probably should go. Kablammo ( talk) 20:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
In the Wikinews article, I had put in "blue LEDs" and someone changed it to "white LEDs". I don't really know, but the Strib article [8] described cars being bathed in blue light. It is possible to achieve close to white light by combining blue, green, and red LEDs and I don't know if that was done or not. But to me, if something "looks" blue, it is blue.-- Appraiser ( talk) 17:18, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
I propose to change the name of the article to I-35W Saint Anthony Falls Bridge, for two reasons: (1) The name comes from an authoritative and current source, namely, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, as opposed to an old story from a media outlet. (2) There is no such road as "35W"; it's " I-35W." -- Matjamoe ( talk) 03:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
In this photograph, in the foreground, only a few feet from the camera, there are wooden structures—the hand-rails of a wooden staircase leading down the steep riverbank. The quick casual viewer, not consciously attending to such details, may fail to notice that those are not part of the bridge and will then have a confused and false mental image. Michael Hardy ( talk) 15:03, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
