Sources
edit- Source 2 - capitalize "Overview" in the title parameter. Done
- Source 89 - "NJDOT begins construction on the Route 13 Inland Waterway Canal Bridge in Point Pleasant Boro". Capitalize Begins and Construction. Title case. Done

Lede
editI'll do the sources last since you might add more.
- link state highway. Done
- and a distinct part of Bridge Avenue - How is it distinct? Fixed wording
- You should probably elaborate more on the bridge's history in the lead section. Most of the article is about the bridge, since the highway itself is so short. Done
- Yeah, that's better. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 13:34, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 02:50, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
Route description
edit- The straight line diagram should also be a source in this section Done
- There, Route 13 begins a curve to the northeast onto the Lovelandtown Bridge approach, crossing some dead-end local roads and a marina - Route 13 never intersects the roads. It should be something like There, Route 13 begins a curve to the northeast onto the Lovelandtown Bridge approach, passing a marina... Done
- and heading onto the lift bridge. - add a name to the bridge. Something like and heading onto the Lovelandtown life bridge. Done

History
editDesignation
edit- Originally, the bridge over the Point Pleasant Canal, the Lovelandtown Bridge, was constructed in 1929, for a continuous route above Bridge Avenue. - Remove the bridge over the Point Pleasant Canal, since we knew it traveled over the canal the section prior. Also, for a continuous route above Bridge Avenue sound weird. How can a bridge be above a road when it is above a canal? Also, replace for with as. Done
- Remove The designation of in the second sentence. Done
- the extension - to where? Route 37? Done
- From what I know about NJ roads, NJ 37 is >10 miles away from NJ 13. Was it Old route 37? Done~ Destroyeraa🌀 14:16, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
- In the 1953 renumbering, the state dropped the suffix and renumbered the bridge and its approaches to Route 13. Replace to with as. Done~ Destroyeraa🌀 14:17, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Bridge rebuild
edit- especially for vehicles such as school buses - link school buses. Done
- The State Highway Department considered a new tunnel for Route 13, but quickly discarded the idea by October, though Beecroft would bring it up again as an option if there were a hearing. Why did they discard the idea? Was there a hearing? Done
- However, this plan was opposed by Assemblyman William T. Hiering, a Republican from Ocean County who asked the United States Army Corps of Engineers to hold a public hearing on such a bridge; this hearing would occur on December 27. Why did he oppose? Done
- Source tidbit: Source 13 also supports the above sentence. Done
- The delay in action was being slammed by the borough of Point Pleasant by December 1964. - some clarification needed. Did the borough slam the DOT for the delay in action or did the borough cause the delay in action? Done
Added pressure
edit- More complaints came from higher officials in September 1965, when a resident of Fair Lawn drove off the Lovelandtown Bridge and died. Put temporary before Lovelandtown Bridge, since this was the temporary bridge.~ DoneDestroyeraa🌀 15:26, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
- State Senator Wayne Dumont who, along. Add a comma before who. Done
- New Jersey State Senate redirects to New Jersey Senate. You linked it when you said State Senator. Done

Hughes to speed up construction of the bridge, deemed a traffic hazard. → The driver's death sparked the attention of State Senator Wayne Dumont and Point Pleasant Mayor Walter B. Brown; they deemed the bridge a traffic hazard and pressured Governor Richard J. Hughes to speed up construction. Grammar. Done
- New Jersey State Conservation Department - link New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Done
- Chief Beecroft, who previously wanted a tunnel crossing, noted buses were taken off the structure for safety.. Did he take buses off the temporary structure, or did he want to take buses off the new bridge? Done

Design and funding problems
edit- For Department of Transportation, you can abbreviate it as DOT. For example, for the first occurrence, put New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). Then, replace all The Department of Transportation in the article with NJDOT. Done
Opening and bridge failure
edit- Remove this sentence: This time it would be waiting until the Spring of 1972 to open the new bridge. Change this sentence: However, just four days later, they announced a new delay, this time because of a delay of the electronic controls for the new bridge. to However, just four days later, they announced a new delay to the Spring of 1972 due to an issue with the electronic controls for the new bridge. Done
- In late March, they announced they - wording. In late March, NJDOT announced that they... Done
- They were hoping for an April opening for the new bridge.[74] These tests occurred throughout April and the expectation in late April was that the bridge could open any day. → Testing continued through April, and NJDOT expected the bridge to open later that month. Done

- This time, the new span needed to have its opening mechanisms adjusted → The new span needed its opening mechanisms adjusted. Some redundancies. Done

- ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
- ^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
- ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
- ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
- ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
- ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
