Merge to West Bottoms, as a feature of that neighborhood. BD2412 T 18:29, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdrawing !vote due to improvements. No longer a clear case for merging. BD2412 T 15:05, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Even knowing that it was constructed by Kansas City Structural Steel Inc. I could not turn up even a basic source for, say, the construction date or structural type. I cannot find any in-depth documentation of this bridge. The Topeka one by the same name, some. Uncle G (talk) 18:38, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Uncle G The bridge seems like it was built before one of the approaches was ready. It's a little hard to trace. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:28, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I just dumped 17 references into this from Kansas City newspapers, and someone a bit more familiar with this area will probably do a better job than I did. Note: "West Kansas Avenue Bridge" is another structure (also in need of article help). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:08, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep excellent work by Sammie Brie in expanding the article. Garuda3 (talk) 21:38, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Good work, Sammi. @Boleyn and BD2412: opinions on Sammi's sources? Queen of Hearts ❤️ (no relation) 06:46, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Honestly, it seems a bit
  WP:ROUTINE for reporting on the lifespan of a bridge, but the fact that there was at least one reported dispute about its intended use shifts me out of thinking that this is a clear case for merging. BD2412 T 15:26, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply

Keep as a case of
WP:GNG now. Great work by Sammi in improving the article. S5A-0043^Talk 16:32, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply

Keep: The sources added show this easily meets the GNG. Great work by all improving this one. Let'srun (talk) 14:07, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
