I have not reviewed an article about Japanese highways before so this will be interesting. I will start the review shortly once I have taken a look to see what other similar articles there are. simongraham (talk) 07:19, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Great work so far. Please ping me when you would like me to take another look. simongraham (talk) 07:35, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Please amend "Its designation as Route B designation is based on the English name for the expressway" Suggest "It is called Route B after its name in English, Bayshore."
 * Done.
 * Please amend "for along Wangan-dōro—today's National Route 357. Much of the tolled expressway is paralleled by that highway, a general-use highway." Suggest "to add capacity to the existing National Route 357. It now runs parallel to the older road, which is used by more local traffic."
 * Done.
 * "It runs from Yokohama through the"… Suggest saying "The Bayshore Route then runs from Yokohama through the…" to clarify that we are now showing the route of the road.
 * Done.
 * "As a result, it is a vital bypass of the heavily-congested city center of Tokyo" Remove the word vital unless it can be verified.
 * Done.
 * "spectacular" Remove as per WP:NPOV.
 * Done.
 * "it is frequented by street racing during late night hours". Should that be "street racers"?
 * Amended.
 * Please add ALT tags to the images.
 * Done.
 * No copy violations found with Earwig's Copyvio Detector.
 * As User:Mccunicano is self-declared away from wikipedia for an indefinite time, I am updated the page in line with the recommendations and request a second opinion. simongraham (talk) 04:38, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * My apologies for not being able to get to this review sooner. It seems that you have went through and made a lot of edits to the article (thank you!), so I'm not sure if there is much I can do to move this along at this stage since you've already gotten a second opinion? I'd be happy to help in any way I can as I start to re-establish a routine.  ❯❯❯ Mccunicano ☕️  17:15, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Welcome back. It is good to see you again. I have not had a response to my request for a second reviewer so please take a look and see if you would like to make any amendments and then I will complete my review. simongraham (talk) 13:52, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it will be a bit (if ever) before I can edit as frequently as I used to. I've made some fixes throughout the article.  ❯❯❯ Mccunicano ☕️  07:44, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Great work. I will complete the review. simongraham (talk) 04:09, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Interested third party observations

 * The Route is not highlighted in red in mobile view.
 * Noted.
 * The use of “southwest-northeast” in the lead, while accurate, is inconsistent with the “westbound-eastbound” used elsewhere in the article.
 * Amended.
 * Clickable links in references should be in English in the English WP.
 * The references are available in English are linked in English.
 * “Closed/former” in the RJL footer is superfluous.
 * The is in the template.
 * It seems illogical to show redlinks for existing articles in the Japanese WP. Downsize43 (talk) 10:46, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Removed.
 * Exit at 39.0 km has no destination or note. Downsize43 (talk) 23:59, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Corrected
 * Thank you, Downsize43. In the absence of User:Mccunicano, I have made relevant edits. simongraham (talk) 04:38, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
