Talk:U.S. Route 62

Comment

US 62 changes from a NS route to a EW route at the OH-PA border, but this isn't mentioned in the article. 150.134.70.238 22:01, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm familiar with US 62 as it runs throughout Kentucky. It is a very scenic byway that basically runs through the middle of the state. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.207.169.60 (talk) 19:21, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Expansion of descriptions needed

I started working on rewriting and linking some of the current material; however, this article needs work. I found the route descriptions in the individual states were mixed up, some going west to east while others were written for east to west. Vbofficial 13:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Inaccurate statement

"Kentucky and Missouri are the only two states of the contiguous forty-eight to share a boundary with no road (only a single ferry) directly connecting the two states."

I was going to change this to read "share a land or river boundary," because it's not true otherwise; Michigan and Minnesota share a border (in Lake Superior) and New York and Rhode Island share a border (in Block Island Sound). In both cases, they too obviously have no road connection, although both also have ferries. However, that change would also be problematic and inaccurate. There actually are direct road connections between Missouri and Kentucky, technically; there are two pieces of land on the west bank of the Mississippi which belong to Kentucky due to changes in the river's routing, and there are roads which cross the Missouri/Kentucky border in one of those places, directly across from Columbus, KY. (You can't get from Kentucky to Kentucky there without going through Missouri, however.) Obviously the current text cannot remain as is, so my inclination is to just delete. Any better ideas?

• I have to agree with the above, the statement is just plain wrong (Wolf Island Rd, and a pair of unnamed-on-Google-maps streets near Crosno cross the state line due to the way the river has changed over time), and furthermore, WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH US Route 62? Why is it Route 62's fault that there is no "major" connection between the two states, as opposed to, say, US 60, US 51, or I-57, which also run very close to Fort Defiance, IL (at the triple-point between IL, MO and KY). Axe it. 75.84.10.82 (talk) 06:15, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

All junctions with US 62 including state highways

If someone wants to fiddle with this to make into Specific State Pages for US 62. These are not necessarily all multiplexed in each town, but instead of trying to say (for example) in Columbus, OH, US 62 comes across I-270, then I-71/I-70, then US 23/33 then US 40, then I-670, then I-270 again on the Northside of Columbus. I'm sure someone better at me at this Wikipedia editing can make magic with this.

I removed the states that already have state-detail sub articles. As for the rest, the various lines in the list need to be broken apart. If highways aren't overlapped at the junction, leaving them in the same line falsely implies an overlap that doesn't exist. It's the height of laziness and inaccuracy to combine things together which should not be combined! Imzadi 1979 → 08:55, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for doing that. I'll look through the map like I did then and break it down by which gets intersected at first, second, etc. P0tt34 (talk) 04:03, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

I broke down the intersections to the states that do not have specific U.S. Route 62 in (State). Although with as many intersections in Ohio, we probably need to make a page for US 62 in Ohio. That may be my next project. I did not touch any that already has a specific page. If I'm wrong in doing this, let me know. P0tt34 (talk) 22:49, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Please don't make a state-detail article for Ohio, P0tt34, if you're only going to create a junction list table and nothing else. Such an article will be redirected back to the parent article. Instead, if you are going to create such an article, make sure it has either a route description section or a history section as well. Imzadi 1979 → 22:51, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

I was planning on looking into the history of the route and describe the route as I was writing the page, not just the junction list. I was planning on using one of the other specific US 62 in (State) articles as a guideline for what I should include. P0tt34 (talk) 01:40, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
