Talk:Interstate 80 in Nebraska

Major intersections

In regards to the infobox section on major intersections, I think it could be argued that any intersection of any state or national highway with the Interstate could constitute a "major intersection", such as the case of the US 6 intersections across the state that have all been removed. I found the rule. Listed at this page, it states "In the major intersections section, there are to be no more than 10 junctions listed. These are preferably Interstates; on longer articles, the most major interstates (those ending in 0 or 5) should be the only ones mentioned." This rule does not preclude listing other intersections; therefore, I have reverted the good faith edits of Artisol2345 and the page should stand as is. • Freechild'sup? 03:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

First state to complete its mainline Interstates was actually Arkansas?

AHTD claimed this in 1995:

95-065 WHEREAS, ARKANSAS was the first state to complete its portion of the Interstate System and due to its age and the type and volume of traffic served, much of the System now requires maintenance beyond the capacity of the Districts’ maintenance budgets; and

WHEREAS, the Arkansas Highway Commission is committed to assuring adequate levels of service for all motorists on the State Highway System.

NOW THEREFORE, the Director is authorized to proceed with surveys, plans, and construction of projects to maintain the Interstate System as funds become available.

The 1974 official map does appear to show it all completed (since the 1972A map, the only piece left was I-40 east of I-55). The Hernando de Soto Bridge opened in August 1973, over a year before Nebraska completed I-80. Am I missing something, or is Nebraska wrong? --NE2 22:13, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
