 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

All right, let's get started. It's an interesting read; short but sweet, and for a short state route, quite in-depth. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 15:17, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * The prose reads quite smoothly all across and I would say is well written. It meets the manual of style guidelines to meet 1b, as well.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Well sourced. References are well used and all appear to be active and reliable.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * It's a short article, but since the article's subject is a 6 mile long state route, I would say the coverage for the subject is adequate. The route tracing and history provide enough, in my opinion, to meet 3a.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * Doesn't appear to be any POV issues here.
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * Limited editing as of late, indicates article is stable. No massive swings of information or edit warring.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * All images are free, and used adequately. The article is very nicely illustrated with these.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * I would say we definitely meet the GA criteria at this time. For a short article, it is quite well written and well sourced.  Well done!
