GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

No disamb links and all links check out. Does the Benedict Bridge deserve its own article rather than being a redirect to this article?
Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality: 
Is the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge in Solomons or Solomon's Island?
The bridge is in the census-designated place of Solomons.  VC  16:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists: 

Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. References to sources: 

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary: 
Need ref for "village of Benedict, which was the site of the landing of British troops to march toward Washington prior to the Battle of Bladensburg."
I added a reference for the War of 1812 information.  VC  16:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
C. No original research: 

Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects: 
The National Bridge Inventory gives the 2008 traffic density. Perhaps you should include it in the article.
Why and how were tolls removed from the bridge?
I added information about the tolls and traffic to the History.  VC  16:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
B. Focused: 
Article would be more focused if the Benedict Bridge material were spun off into a separate article.
I merged the Benedict Bridge article into this article for several reasons: the bridge is not significant enough to warrant its own article; the article was a stub that had little growth prospects; there is not a lot of information available about this bridge; and the bridge article contained much of the same information as the MD 231 article even before I updated MD 231: see pre-merger edition of Benedict Bridge.

Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias: 

Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc: 

Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales: 

B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions: 

Overall:
Pass or Fail: 
This article represents significant work by its author. I am placing the review on hold for you to address concerns. Racepacket (talk) 15:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Nominator gives a logical expanation for the merger of the bridge article with the Rt 231 article.  Additional references check out. All other concerns have been resolved. Congratulations. Racepacket (talk) 18:15, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
