There's two sets of "World's longest suspension bridge span" links at the bottom of the article, with conflicting information. Somebody who's familiar with this should take a look at it and figure out how to fix it. -- RoySmith(talk)00:47, 28 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

How do they (whoever "they" are) enforce the 4000 lb per car limit? A modern AWD Ford Taurus is over 4000 lbs empty and even a little Honda Civic can be over 2 tons with just 2 fat people and a week's luggage. If 4000lb/vehicle is truly all the bridge can safely support, then the bridge should be closed immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.229.73.57 (talk) 02:05, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
The 2-ton weight limit is posted on a sign just like any other weight limit. There are also steel beams mounted above the roadway to prevent larger vehicles (i.e., trucks) from crossing. Bitmapped (talk) 22:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

This links to a politician, but I am almost certain the engineer in question is Wilhelm Hildebrand, a German immigrant who worked on the Brooklyn Bridge, Pikes Peak Cog Railway and other major late 19th century projects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.112.184.251 (talk) 14:29, 17 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
In any case the William Hildenbrand on Wikipedia was born in 1921 so probably didn't work on a bridge in 1874. I removed this link and the one to William McComas; this McComas (1795-1865) was contemporaneous with the 1859 work on the bridge and also lived in what became West Virginia, but was a politician, minister, lawyer and farmer, not an engineering partner of Charles Ellett.

I worked on this article this morning, thinking to link it to articles on two West Virginia legislators I worked on last night. I'm not in a library and don't know when I'll have time to get to a law library to even get the appropriate case citations, much less the legal history book written on the case.Jweaver28 (talk) 16:33, 13 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
