Under review. Bermicourt (talk) 17:45, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - One source says it took over six years to repair and reopen, so the main hook could happily state this.

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
Freely licensed: Used in article: Clear at 100px:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: A nice, rounded little article that is new enough, long enough and well cited. Sources are taken in good faith and an assumption made that it is plagiarism free. That is certainly the case with the accessible sources. The hook is backed up and the image is clear and appropriately licensed. If we can clear up the length of time taken to repair the bridge, the main hook is fine. ALT1 is also good to go and, if I had to vote, I'd probably run with that one.

Hi Bermicourt, thanks for your review. Whichever source it is that states six years must be wrong. The storm was in December 2015 so it has not yet been six years, the bridge definitely reopened in April 2021 so around 5 and a third years. Is suspect it's a lazy subtraction of 2021 minus 2015 - Dumelow (talk) 18:42, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, that makes entire sense. In which case I reckon this is GTG. Bermicourt (talk) 22:03, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
