Single support?

The text claims that this bridge is the "only inverted Fink truss bridge with just a single support tower in the world," but the citation given doesn't support the claim (it just lists a handful of other inverted Fink truss bridges with some photographs and no accompanying text, as far as I can see), and the claim itself seems incoherent to me. For the bridge to have only one support, surely it should have to be free-standing; this bridge is supported by its central pier and also by its attachments to the two buildings at either end, making a total of three supports. Some sort of solid source that explicitly asserts the "single support, only in the world" business needs to be added to the article, or in the next few days I'm going to remove all of that from the article.-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 13:10, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm removing those claims pending clarification and evidence.-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 17:10, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
