- Result pending
Article has gotten out of hand since 2012 promotion.
- WP:TOOBIG concerns, article is 227,901 bytes and needs some trimming.
- Lots of cases where several sentences in a row begin with "In (year), blah blah happened." over and over, so a copy edit is needed.
- "Service Plaza" sub-header has several one-sentence paragraphs and excessive detail, along with more cases of several sentences in a row beginning with "In (year)".
- Had an "in popular culture" section of trivial tangential name-drops, which I snipped out.
- External links seem excessive.
- PA Highways site tagged as unreliable self-published source.

- How else are you supposed to write a history section for a road article? They typically announce things at a specific date, even if they had planned to do it a long time before. Same with the service plaza section. Cfeddse (talk) 03:07, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- You vary the sentence structure and length. When literally every sentence begins with "In (year)..." it's boring and clunky and doesn't flow well. It's a basic rule of writing. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:10, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
