review
 * Suggestion: Promote to A-Class
 * Nominator's comments: It's been a decade since this article was promoted to GA status and unsuccessfully submitted to ACR. I've nuked and re-written the article to be far less of a mess. The highway itself has been jerked around with different numbers and varying degrees of importance for most of the 20th century, and has now been widened and modernized (at the expense of its southernmost 2.5 miles).

Comments:
 * 1) In the lead you mention the highway travels 9 miles yet it actually travels more than that. You should either indicate is travels for "over 9 miles" or "9.29 miles".
 * 2) You should probably define that US 99 is the abbreviation for U.S. Route 99 in the lead rather than in the history since the lead is the first mention of it.
 * 3) You should indicate what county the highway is located in in both the route description and the infobox.
 * 4) I noticed a lot of redlinks in the route description. Are these intended to get articles anytime soon? If not I would say to delink them.
 * 5) In the route description, you should mention how many lanes wide SR 527 is and whether or not it is a divided highway.
 * 6) You do not need to define the abbreviation for SSH 2A again in the history since it was already defined in the lead.
 * 7) In the history, you should indicate that the southern terminus of SR 527 was at SR 522 before it was cut back to I-405 in 2011.   Dough   4872   19:27, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * All done, except for the US 99 abbreviation, where I felt it would be simpler to keep the full form and avoid confusion with SR 99. I do plan on creating articles for the redlinks eventually, so I don't see them being a big issue.  Sounder Bruce  23:01, 26 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Support - Concerns addressed (By the way, I fixed the SSH 2A abbreviation myself, and while I feel like you don't need to define US 99 again in the history, I can see how you want to avoid confusion since both US 99 and SR 99 are mentioned in the history.)
