To address the previous review, it was a 30-second sweep to catch self-published sources, so I don't think it prevents me from doing this review.

• Sources 5 and 11 are deadlinks.

• Fixed. Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

• I can't tell what source 42 is.

• Fixed. Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

• The lead seems a bit slanted towards the history, when the RD is longer than the history.

• Cut some information. Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

• In the first paragraph you overuse "the route".

• Reduced usage. Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

• In the second paragraph you overuse "portion".

• Reduced usage. Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Route description

• "large interchange" - be more specific or cut it out entirely

• Remove "large". Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

• "heads east-southeast industrial areas" - something missing

• Added word. Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

• Later on, overuse of "development" and "interchange"

• Cut back usage of both words. Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

• "As part of the Interstate Highway System, the entire length of I-295 is a part of the National Highway System." - perhaps this should go in an introduction to the RD, like Interstate 8 has it.

• Added mini-lead to RD. Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

History

• Please check to make sure that you don't start consecutive sentences with the same words.

• Fixed. Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Future

• The northern portion of I-295 will be affected by the Pennsylvania Turnpike/Interstate 95 Interchange Project in Bristol Township, Pennsylvania. - I feel this sentence is bland and says almost nothing.

• Removed sentence. Dough4872 13:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Should be a pass after this is resolved, but please go through and check for other overused words and extraneous details. --Rschen7754 18:20, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
