U.S. Route 40[edit]

The article says that this bridge became part of U.S. Route 40 in 1918. However, the U.S. Highway system wasn't established until the mid-1920s. Is this statement true and accurate? Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 00:54, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, it was only one of the Illinois State Bond Issue routes in 1918. I fixed the relevant sentence. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 06:34, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

photo not of the bridge[edit]

Photo not of the bridge
Another photo, perhaps of the brick-paved section of old National Road mentioned in one of documents in NRHP document PDF

I removed the photo at right from this article and from the National Register of Historic Places listings in Clark County, Illinois article. It is not a photo of the bridge that is the topic of this article. Possibly the bridge no longer exists, as I assume it may not be easy to find, but there is not documentation of it being gone. If it is located off in the woods, there would be ruins, I would think. A photo of ruins or a historic photo of the bridge are needed, if in fact the bridge no longer exists. --doncram 03:54, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see from edit history at the county list-article that there was indirect discussion about this, at least in edit-summaries, previously. And there's another photo of the area, which I am adding here. --doncram 07:03, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As you would know if you were to visit the site, there are no more remaining ruins. The photo in question is that of the site in the woods as given by the NR nomination; if you persist in removing this photo, tendentiously preferring your "I would think" against the reliable source, your twelfth block will be requested.

I was there looking for it. I photographed the bridge that is in the section of the old National Road, shown in the second photo - but that is NOT the historic bridge. After I did that, I saw that there was a loop of the road to the south in that area, which is where the historic bridge was. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:23, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
