I've started to review this article. VR talk 21:31, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Floydian just some early thoughts:
Nevertheless, I notice that most GAs on American interstates don't contain this sort of information (eg New Jersey Route 440). It just seems odd to me to have an article so dry. VR talk 04:12, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Now for the review.
The article is well written. No spelling or grammatical issues. However, some sentences seemed a bit long for my taste. I think for FA status this article would benefit from making sentences a bit shorter, hence more readable. Nevertheless, I can follow the prose. It follows MOS guidelines, no WTA that I can see. Only stumbling block here is that the lead makes no mention about the politics of four-laning (NDP, PCs, Libs) which does gain significant coverage in the article. I would like to see that covered in the lead, even if its summarized as one sentence. I think its important, because the article is very technical and dry, and covering the political aspects in the lead will make it more interesting to the reader.
Every sentence in the article body has a citation. I AGF that the sources are cited correctly. The sources are appropriate for this article, and I don't see any reliability issues. The use of google maps as a source was interesting (I don't think I've seen that used before on wikipedia), but it was appropriate here. This article is mainly based on WP:SECONDARY sources, so the occasional used of a WP:PRIMARY source is fine. Citation style is appropriate. No original research, no excessive quotations. No BLP issues.
As mentioned above, I would have liked this article to contain the economical and cultural dimensions of the highway. However, Floydian asserted that reliable sources don't have much to say about this. I couldn't find much from a 5 minute google search.
No NPOV issues. Most of this article is so technical, you wouldn't expect there to be any NPOV issues. The political stuff is covered objectively.
Yes. I don't see any recent disputes in the article history or talk page.
All images are relevant and have captions. I don't see any copyright issues with any of them.
I think this article is ready for GA, except that one issue with the lead that I mentioned. As soon as its addressed (either fixed, or explained why it shouldn't be in the lead), I can pass the article. Good job on the article, Floydian! VR talk 03:22, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
@ Vice regent:, figure this slipped through the cracks on your watchlist. - Floydian τ ¢ 01:14, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
