Correct size of the Irespan in Magnimar?

[Toshy]

First of all, I hope this is the correct section, otherwise sorry in advance.

Ok, so I know this topic might seem rather unimportant to some, but since my group arrived in magnimar last session I wanted to give them a correct impression of how big this ancient thassilonian bridge really is.

The problem is I found different values in the same source.

Camapign Setting Magnimar City of Monuments

The map, which also shows the irespan has a scale of 2000ft.
Using this, the width of the irespan would be aroun 700ft.
However on page 48 it says that the irespan is 300ft wide.

In this post from 2010 here referring to a wrong scale (640ft on the map) in RotRL James Jacob said it should be around 700ft wide.

Which information is the correct one?
The map and scale (700ft wide), confirmed by James in 2010 or the description in the CS (300ft) from 2012?

Or rather then the "correct" width, how wide is the irespan intended to be?
Just so I know the scale, for describing other buildings or things in relation to it and for giving my players a (hopefully epic) description of what they are seein.

Side with the majority and say it's 700' wide. It's two against one... the map and JJ are correct.

Go with the guy who created Golarion. James Jacobs is still the Creative Director of Paizo. You can't get any closer to "what did the designers intend" than a direct quote, shortly after the book was released, by the guy who made it up.

To confuse the matter further,'Lost Omens Travel Guide' for 2e says it's 300' above sea level and 100' wide.

Well, it all depends on how cold the water is that day...
