There's no way that bridge was 560ft high. I can believe 70ft, as I recall that's the correct value as stated in the article, but I don't feel comfortable enough with that to correct the infobox. I can't imagine too many places in Connecticut, especially near the coast, which would have a gorge that deep! :-D -

Nevermind, I fixed it based on the data in the article and from elsewhere. -

Possible cause chemicals leaking onto bridge?
The book "Profit Without Honor: White-collar Crime and the Looting of America" it states that "sludge runners" (trucking companies who haul toxic waste) would frequently open their valves while crossing this bridge to discharge some of their load and the chemicals that leaked not only polluted the river but caused the bolts of the bridge itself to collapse."

The History section of the infobox
Shouldn't "Rebuilt 1992" be underneath "Collapsed 1983", rather than over it?
