GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

All right, let's get started. It's an interesting read; short but sweet, and for a short state route, quite in-depth.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
The prose reads quite smoothly all across and I would say is well written. It meets the manual of style guidelines to meet 1b, as well.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Well sourced. References are well used and all appear to be active and reliable.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It's a short article, but since the article's subject is a 6 mile long state route, I would say the coverage for the subject is adequate. The route tracing and history provide enough, in my opinion, to meet 3a.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Doesn't appear to be any POV issues here.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
Limited editing as of late, indicates article is stable. No massive swings of information or edit warring.
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
All images are free, and used adequately. The article is very nicely illustrated with these.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
I would say we definitely meet the GA criteria at this time. For a short article, it is quite well written and well sourced. Well done!
