New enough. Long enough. NPOV. No QPQ required. Earwig and spot-checking found no close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism (except for quoted passages, of course). Interesting enough hook is cited, and article is well-cited. Edwardx (talk) 12:25, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

@Keneckert and Edwardx: Comment: was about to promote, but noticed the source said that the overpass was "worn-out after over 40 years of heavy use" and not "disused" as the hook claims. HaEr48 (talk) 20:50, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

@HaEr48: "disused" merely means no longer being used, the reason is immaterial - it is not being used for its original purpose. Disused seems a reasonable descriptor. Edwardx (talk) 01:02, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
