Reviewing later. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 06:10, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why not use the abbreviations for the state highways (SD)?
- Fixed.
I don't see where it mentions the mall in ref 3.
- Moved up the correct citation.
"which required workers to direct traffic" On opening or during construction?
- Added a bit.
Consider adding some inflation numbers for the construction costs.
- Added for both of the missing figures.
Shouldn't the interchange at I-90 be marked as incomplete if it doesn't have the complete set of ramps?
- Marked CR 125 as incomplete, as all movements to I-90 are there.
Would be nice to have the downtown loop route on the interactive map too.
- Added.
The second external link just redirects to the main page, fyi.
- Removed.

That should be it. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 07:44, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Nova Crystallis: That should be about it. Sounder Bruce 08:00, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article and hooks seem promising at first glance (I'll try to do a full review ASAP), but a QPQ is required. --Dylan620 in public/on mobile (he/him · talk) 16:25, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Dylan620: QPQ added. Sounder Bruce 02:31, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On that note...

Overall: ...we're ready to roll! My personal preference is ALT0 because I love the contradiction in a freeway emptying into an unpaved road, but ALT1 is interesting too. --Dylan620 (he/him · talk · edits) 02:23, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
