# Talk:Skarnsund Bridge

A citation or additional information is needed for the claim in the article that the bridge was the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world by total length when it opened (until beaten by the Millau Bridge).  This does not seem to be the case to me; the Sunshine Skyway has a longer total length.

The page says there are eight spans.  The pictures of the bridge show the cable-stay back spans have columns.  Does the 1,010 m total length include any spans that are not cable supported?  
Does anyone know of a page that lists the lengths of the back spans (between columns)? Should the article say longest total cable-supported length?- SCgatorFan 22:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

### Comments
A reasonable, short article on a bridge, at or about GA level.

History-
The fatal accident needs a citation.
The loss of the ferry jobs needs a citation.
Ref 8 has a broken link.
WP:lead and History-
I'm not sure about your translation of the word 'Preserve' as in 'bridge was preserved as a cultural heritage'. I can't find the original Norsk citation; Ref 11 which is listed as Norwegian is mostly an English summary (I much prefer English). Could 'listed' be a better translation?

Arsenikk has not been here for a couple of weeks so I'll try to help here. I have not addressed all your points now, but I'll  come back.
I have updated ref 11. The source refer a proposal and not the actual decision. I have added a ref to the legislation that protects the bridge.
Preserved. I agree that this not seem to be a good word for the Norwegian word fredning. I think a better word is protected. Rettetast (talk) 01:04, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out. Sorry, I have a Englisk-Norsk / Norsk-Englisk dictionary, which I'm happy to use for one or two words, but I can't cope with whole articles in Norsk. Arsenikk now seems to have been gone for three weeks, so I've taken over one of his outstanding railway reviews.Pyrotec (talk) 16:11, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
I have tried to find sources, but have not had any luck. the facts probably comes from offline sources. I have removed them for now. They can be readded later if sources are added. Rettetast (talk) 14:51, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks very much for your assistance. I will now continue the WP:GAN.Pyrotec (talk) 19:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
