review
 * Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: Since ACR isn't busy, and this is a shorter article, I'll put this up as well. In order to bump the Interstate Highways in Michigan topic from GT to FT, it needs 3 more FAs at the time of this writing. I-275 is at FAC now, and I-94 has been nominated above here at ACR before a future FAC. As to why I chose this one, other than the fact that it's a simple little article, it also falls numerically in the middle of a bunch of Michigan's other FA highways. I-496, Capitol Loop (CL I-496, Connector 496), M-553 and I-696 are all FAs. The writing is straightforward, so this should be easy to review.

Review by Dough4872
Comments - Here are my concerns that need to be addressed before I can support:
 * 1) "in 2009 through 2011" does not sound right. If it took place between those two years, it should be "from 2009 through 2011".
 * 2) Do you think you can mention how many lanes wide I-675 is in the route description?
 * 3) When you mention I-75 in the route description, you completely ignore the fact that it is concurrent with US 23. You should refer to the road as I-75/US 23.
 * 4) Is there a way an image of the road itself can be added to the article?
 * 5) Are there any more details about the planning and construction of the highway that can be added to the history? The section seems a little short and only mentions the years that construction started and was finished.   Dough   4872   01:39, 22 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Replies
 * 1) Changed
 * 2) Added.
 * 3) Added.
 * 4) I will endeavor to get something located before any FAC, but I don't know that I'll be successful before the ACR would close.
 * 5) Sadly, unlike the other 3dIs which have names, this one doesn't, so Barnett didn't cover anything about it in his book on the named highways. I have added some other stuff, expanding on the freeway's role connected to the Zilwaukee Bridge, but that's about all we're going to get at the present time.

replies made above.


 * Support - I will support the article for A-class.  Dough   4872   15:41, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

I will review this article. --Rschen7754 02:47, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * A lot of "crosses" or "crossing" in the first paragraph of the RD.
 * to merge back to I-75/US - something missing
 * The entire length of the freeway has four lanes (two in each direction) - is it okay to be using Google StreetView (I assume) to source this?
 * What was "Initially planned"? The Michigan State Highway Department?
 * The I-675 freeway was under construction starting in 1969 - the passive structure is awkward here.
 * I-675 was to serve as access to the downtown area... does it today? It seems like a contrast is being set up here that perhaps shouldn't be.
 * for upwards of four hours -> for over?
 * the state even considered - don't need "even"
 * as a mishap during a maintenance project - what sort of mishap?
 * Then starting in May 2009 and ending in November 2011, - need a comma after "Then". --Rschen7754 01:09, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixes applied for the above,, although there were only three uses of "cross"/"crossing" and only the middle was swapped out for now.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:34, 20 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Support issues resolved. --Rschen7754 01:57, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Image review by Rschen7754

 * I would have to agree with the comments about the image above. I won't hold it up at ACR, but it would affect any support at FAC.

Source review and spotcheck by Rschen7754

 * All Saginaw News links need to be switched to the archive.
 * 18 - good on CP and V.
 * 17 - not supported by source.
 * 15 - good on CP and V. --Rschen7754 06:47, 2 December 2016 (UTC)


 * All of the Saginaw News links were flipped around, and the sentence was tweaked for n17 to track the source a little closer.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:42, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ and ready to close. --Rschen7754 03:50, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
