Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway Bridge near P Street edit
- ... that the bridge near P Street was built so that motorists would not have to use the P Street Bridge?

New enough, long enough, adequately sourced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. However, I don't see the hook information in the article. Moreover, the source says that during construction, traffic was redirected onto the "P Street overpass", not "P Street Bridge". I am also confused by the image in the article. You are calling the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway Bridge near P Street "the bridge near P Street", but it looks from the picture exactly like the P Street Bridge. Please clarify. Also, please supply a QPQ. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 14:07, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
- I've clarified the text in the article to correspond to the hook. Overpass and bridge are different words for the same thing in this case. The Bridge near P Street runs below and perpendicular to the P Street Bridge; in the second image in the article, it's visible at the bottom, just to the left of the high-level P Street Bridge, if you look closely. See this picture of the P Street Bridge; it clearly has a different structure than the Bridge near P Street. QPQ done. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 20:31, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
- OK, but ... I don't see the hook conclusion in the article or the source. Did they really build the bridge to avoid using the high-level P Street Bridge, or just to make a more convenient route across the valley? Yoninah (talk) 00:09, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
