Re Image:100-100A-100C near Sprain Brook.jpg, and Image:100-100AScarsdale.jpg the commons page suggests attribution required, so add photo credit of Mitchazenia.

Failed

There have been no comments nor updates to the article, and absolutely no feedback. Compared to Borman Expressway another good article which shows only engineering type content, this article shows only route content, and doesn't even say what kind of highway this route is, divided or undivided, truck route or gravel and the information is available. There is still a spelling error, and not all measurements of mileage have kilometer conversion. SriMesh | talk 02:32, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
