Colorado State Highway 82

(

)

... that Colorado State Highway 82 (pictured, as Aspen's Main Street) intersects only one other state highway along its 85-mile (137 km) length?

Comment: Sorry for the late nom ... a holiday weekend and added work responsibilities got in the way.

Created/expanded by Daniel Case (talk). Self nom at 05:42, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the rules require that the article be nominated within five days of its creation/expansion. This one was created on October 2 and nominated on October 12. Unless there is some kind of waiver process for late nominations, I don't believe it meets the criteria here. Sorry. --MelanieN (talk) 21:04, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

I should add that aside from the time of nomination, the article appears to meet criteria. It is long enough, well sourced and illustrated, an interesting and well written article. My only quibble would be that the hook fact is buried deep within text in the middle of a long article, not easy to spot. --MelanieN (talk) 21:40, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Since I am relatively new at DYK reviewing and the submitter is a much more experienced editor than I am, I am perfectly willing to have another editor look at this nomination, and waive the time problem if the rules allow. --MelanieN (talk) 21:42, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

~~In progress~~ Let me have a look at this one. — Maile (talk) 20:03, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
