 * GA review (see here for criteria)

 I will put the article on hold for fixes to be made.  Dough 48  72  01:53, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * The article says it is an east-west road but the major intersections says north-south. The article needs to be flipped per WP:USRD/STDS to describe the road in west to east progression and not east to west progression.
 * WSDOT and the RCW describe SR 16 as beginning at I-5 in Tacoma and ending at SR 3, while the route is signed as east-west on highway shields.
 * "The freeway bypasses Purdy to the east and passes Peninsula High School before intersecting SR 302 Spur and entering Kitsap County.[28][29][30] SR 16 passes the community of Burley and intersects its main access highway, Burley-Olalla Road, in an interchange before entering the city of Port Orchard" you use "passes" in two consecutive sentences.
 * Replaced the first "passes"
 * " After the collapse of the original bridge on November 7, 1949,[49] PSH 14 was truncated to Gig Harbor in 1949.", didn't Galloping Gertie collapse in 1940? Also, was 1949 the year PSH 14 was truncated and not 1940?
 * Apparently, the Legislature didn't revised the route's description until 1949, but traffic was redirected to an alternate ferry landing.
 * I would call the Exit list as Major intersections instead since it includes at-grade intersections.
 * It does have exits and is a freeway for the majority of the route.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Is a detailed history of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge really necessary in the article? After all, the bridge has its own article.
 * I'm not so sure on this one, but PSH 14/SR 16 give the bridge state funding and is a large portion of the highway's history, influencing some extensions/contractions.
 * 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):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
