On 26 May 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Washington Bridge to Washington Bridge (Harlem River). The result of the discussion was moved.

Is there really walkways/sidewalks on both sides?

I know it being a connector highway to I-95, the sidewalks would be barricaded somewhat from the main highway/connector itself, but I only see walkways on the westbound end of the bridge. RobertFL1991 (talk) 21:06, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

– Since there are multiple bridges with the same name or similar names, this bridge is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. To avoid confusion with the George Washington Bridge, the best way to name the bridge is by making it clear that this is a Harlem River crossing. JE98 (talk) 22:15, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support the Harlem River one has 747 but the Providence, Rhode Island one has 766, the Connecticut one has 75, the Missouri one has 63 and George Washington Bridge has 13,911[[1]]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:45, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, mostly due to the bridge in Providence getting more views[2] Although the usual qualifier would be just the city, the nearby George Washington Bridge justifies using the river instead. Station1 (talk) 04:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and those above. BD2412 T 15:52, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not notice this until now. For what it's worth, this move was reasonable and should've occurred years ago. Epicgenius (talk) 17:07, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
