   Pass/Fail:

• The lead is currently too long; for an article of this length, it should consist of one moderately sized paragraph.
• The route heads north from this interchange as a four-lane freeway with a 40 mph (64 km/h) speed limit that is maintained by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. - The speedy limit is maintained by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority? Unclear wording.
• The original plan in the early 1960s for what is now Route 81 was to connect Newark International Airport with Elizabeth Seaport, bypassing Humboldt Avenue, which at the time was designated Route 164; the route is no longer a state highway. - Which route is no longer a state highway? NJ 164?
• By the 1970s, it was decided to have Route 81 start at a new interchange 13A of the New Jersey Turnpike. - Who decided this?
• Is http://www.nycroads.com/roads/NJ-81/ a reliable source?

Looks good other than that. Putting this on-hold for now. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 19:28, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, I have gone back and made changes to the article. As for NYCRoads, we had a discussion about it in the past and it was said to be a reliable SPS as it cites its sources. Dough4872 (talk) 23:43, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
