Someone had linked Market Street Bridge in Harrisburg, PA with the Market Strret Bridge in Chattanooga, TN. - rmgrotkierii 2006/02/18 10:30am EST
Where are the other Dams (Holtwood, SafeHarbor, etc.)? They may not be open to the public for crossing the river, but they certainly cross the river. And if we're going to list demolished crossings, there was a bridge between I-95 and Conowingo Dam, long ago. Where does the AT cross?-- J Clear 00:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Apparently there is a low head dam near the Shamokin Dam power plant, below the Adam T. Bower Mem. Dam. I didn't add it yet. It doesn't show up on the topos. I only found it while looking for the Bower dam, which does show on the topos. It gets back to how do you define crossing. Is it something that would be noticed by a boater? Is it a way for a human to cross the river? Would that include fords?-- J Clear 15:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Should the generic "Railroad Bridge" really be capitalized? I don't think it should be, unless there's a real name associated. I did the West Branch with caps only to be consistent. But I did put other types of generic crossings in lower case.-- J Clear 00:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
The list starts out listing locations with the river right town first, then river left. I did the West Branch that way. Some of the New York entries seem to be listed the other way. For those who would have to look it up like I did, river right is the right side as you're facing downstream. So it sould be "Endicot and Vestal". Although, given that the list moves upstream, the NY order might make more sense. The simplest fix (Plan A) is to just change the NY entries. Plan B is to change all the others. Plan C, the toughest, but my favorite, is to reorder the list downstream (and fix the NY entries) so the list looks somewhat like a normal map orientation, at least on the lower river.
I vote for A in the short run and C in the long run (or when I find time to write some perl to do it).-- J Clear 01:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
This should be mined for historical bridges near Harrisburg, but I don't have the time right this second.-- J Clear 23:24, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Is anyone aware of areas of the river which would be crossable on foot without a (current) bridge, and without swimming--particularly between Marysville and Maryland? Surely there were shallow areas fjorded before the ferries were in operation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.156.66.4 ( talk) 19:32, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
