 * GA review (see here for criteria)

A decent start, but needs some improvements.
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * The route description seems a little dry, simply listing the towns and what intersections are present. The History section has several short paragraphs that can be combined.
 * ✅ RD completely rewritten. History combined.


 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * There are several areas of uncited information in the article. The only source in the route description as well as one of the history sources is a WP:SPS and thus not reliable.
 * ✅ SPSes have been removed and replaced with better sources. ✅ Inserted citations for the length in the RD


 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * A little more information could be added for a 120-mile road, such as what landscapes it passes through. In addition, some more information is needed in the lead.
 * ✅ RD rewritten with more detail. Please be more specific with what you mean by "more information" is needed in the lead.  According to WP:Lead, for an article of this length, one paragraph is sufficient.
 * A little more historical information can be added. ---Dough4872 16:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Added more about the 2008 floods. Found a road closure date as well. --Fredddie™


 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * A picture of the road would be nice to have in the article.
 * ✅ I whole-heartedly agree. I have looked and looked on Commons and on Flickr with no luck.  Unfortunately, this is also a bad time of year to drive over 100 miles to take a picture of a highway.

 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * I will put this article on hold to allow for fixes to be made. ---Dough4872 02:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I will pass the article. ---Dough4872 01:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
