Chevelon Creek Bridge
... that the Chevelon Creek Bridge, built in Arizona in 1912–1913, completed part of one of America's first national highways?Source: "“The Chevelon Creek Bridge carried mainline traffic on the Santa Fe Highway " (ref3), also "The Chevelon Creek Bridge was built as a component of the initial highway system linking the West Coast with the remainder of the country." from the NRHP doc (that verifes the dates also).
5x expanded by MB (talk). Self-nominated at 01:29, 31 August 2021 (UTC).
- Note: Per DYK CHECK, the size was 892 characters before expansion (the March 28, 2021 version) and is 5625 after expansion on Aug 29, a bit over 6x.

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Please add inline citation(s) to support the "Description" section and the paragraph that starts with "A plan to restore the plan by..." - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - I know you didn't add it but there is residual copyvio from [1] that was added in 2015 (the paragraph starting with "The bridge scored 94 points out of 100...")
Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - The word "completed" in the hook initially gave me pause — I think it is supported by the quote from the source ("linking the West Coast with the remainder of the country") but the article doesn't really make that part clear, it just says it's a segment of the highway, unless I'm missing something. Also, is "Warren truss Pony truss bridge" a typo?
- Interesting:
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
@MB: see above. It's a great article, well done, just a few issues I want to clarify. DanCherek (talk) 14:18, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- DanCherek, Thanks for the quick review. I added the missing cite (missed that when splitting long paragraphs) and reworded the copyvio sentence. Warren truss and Pony truss describe different aspects of the truss; it is both - changed wording there.
- The hook is wrong - I didn't mean it completed the national highway, just the Holbrook-Winslow section. And it really didn't complete that either since there was a prior bridge. It modernized it with a state-of-the art bridge. Clarified in ALT1. MB 15:41, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- ALT1:... that the Chevelon Creek Bridge, built in Arizona in 1912–1913, was part of one of America's first national highways?
- Thanks, the updated hook looks good to me. Two more things: the sentence starting with "The rating came because of its inclusion..." was also taken verbatim from the Tribune source and will need to be reworded or removed, and the first paragraph of the Restoration section is still missing an inline citation.
