Daniel, You got it right - use "related" to link the new and old bridge. And as I found out, it is only necessary to do it from one side. That is, from the new bridge page, set a link to the old bridge and there will now be a matching link on the old page.

The first one I linked I had to removed a duplicate 'cause I did it from both sides manually.

I vote this bridge as "noteworthy" - if only because it shows that a modern replacement can have some style.

Sonoma County rather than CalTrans, but you're correct in that it isn't your average replacement.

MOB?

The new bridge is a modern arch, but doesn't appear to be the usual Corten MOB fare.

I say the new page stays up. Yeah its modern and replaced a truss, but Caltrans could've easily put a concrete eyesore here and didn't.

What's the proper procedure for uploading info about the replacement bridge? Do I create a new page for it? It has nothing in common with the old bridge (other than location).

This bridge is slated for replacement and demolition.
