Select Eisenhower Tunnel pic. Dough4872 02:00, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

The eastern portal to the Eisenhower Tunnel along Interstate 70 in Colorado

Support - Nice picture. Dough4872 03:09, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Support Kevon kevono (talk) 21:22, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment You should know that the tunnel on the left is the Johnson Tunnel, so this should be rephrased The eastern portal to the Eisenhower Tunnel and the western portal of the Johnson Tunnel along Interstate 70 in Colorado.. Kevon kevono (talk) 03:09, 30 April 2016 (UTC) (What the hell is UTC?) 20:09 (PT)

This suggestion caption is physically impossible. =-) I think you meant so say either, "the entry to the Eisenhower Tunnel and the exit to the Johnson tunnel", or possibly "the westbound Eisenhower Tunnel on the left and eastbound Johnson Tunnel on the right". However, I have never heard the Johnson tunnel mentioned in colloquial speech. Colloquially both tunnels are usually called the Eisenhower Tunnel. Dave (talk) 07:29, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Cars on I-395, leaving Washington, D.C. (in distance) and passing by the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia

Since we don't have any pics in DC, this'll be a good pic. Kevon kevono (talk) 03:16, 30 April 2016 (UTC) (What the hell is UTC?) 20:16 (PT)

Select San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge night pic. Dough4872 01:05, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Temporary signage shortly after U.S. Route 666 was decommissioned, taken in Monticello, Utah

This image has been on the portal a few times. However, the image has always been as a thumbnail for when US491/666 has been featured as a DYK or selected article. The image is a nice image in its own right, and has never been featured beyond thumnail size. (It's on the portal now. It may even be better to wait another month or two and that's why I'm not proposing it for May.)Dave (talk) 16:47, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Comment - May want to wait until July or August to feature this picture to space it out from when it was used from the DYK and for regional balance if we run the Eisenhower Tunnel picture in May. Dough4872 03:11, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Relatively new eastern span of Bay Bridge, 2013 View of original eastern span (right) and its replacement (left), just days after transfer of traffic, 2013

Note me if this pic has already been placed Kevon kevono (talk) 03:00, 30 April 2016 (UTC)(What the hell is UTC?) 20:00 (PT)

Absolute support, cool pic Dave (talk) 07:30, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Support - Scenic nighttime picture of iconic bridge, which IMO is better than a picture of an assembly of signs. Dough4872 02:06, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
Support the picture, caption needs work. –Fredddie ™ 02:40, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
I got some alternatives:

Decorative lighting effect of roadside and main-cable lamps

The old eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge was deconstructed in the reverse order of its construction, 2014

Select I-395 DC-VA pic. Dough4872 02:13, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Cars on I-395, leaving Washington, D.C. (in distance) and passing by the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia

Since we don't have any pics in DC ~~and if this doesn't get into the May one~~, this'll be a good pic. Kevon kevono (talk) 21:52, 30 April 2016 (UTC) (What the hell is UTC?) 14:52 (PT)
- Support - Technically this picture is in Virginia (with DC in the background), but is still a nice shot with the road in the foreground and the landmarks of the nation's capital in the background. Dough4872 02:06, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Rolled over nominations

Route 55 in Pendleton County, West Virginia

It's been a while since we've had a West Virginia picture. –Fredddie ™ 02:08, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Select AR 7. Dough4872 01:04, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

~~Interstate 17 near Flagstaff, Arizona.~~

~~Kevon kevono (talk) 22:12, 24 August 2016 (UTC) 15:12 (PDT)~~

Highway 7 in Hot Springs, Arkansas

We've never had an Arkansas picture and it's not often we have a city view. This satisfies both. –Fredddie ™ 01:27, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Support. A good quality picture from two underrepresented areas. Sounder Bruce 13:06, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
Support - Great pic. Dough4872 01:01, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

View of the Red Rocks of Sedona on I-17, south of Munds Park

I don't think a picture of this has never been posted on this portal before.Kevon kevono (talk) 03:00, 27 August 2016 (UTC) 20:00 (PDT)

Oppose. Where's the road? Sounder Bruce 13:06, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
