GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

It may take two days for me to complete my initial review. I will note/pass items as I go along. You don't need to wait for me to finish to begin addressing them. Most of my comments are open for discussion, so feel free to question anything. Once complete, I will be claiming points for this review in the 2017 WikiCup.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
Lead
"...and its eastern terminus at an intersection with SR 29, SR 66, and the southern terminus of SR 116 in St. Mary's" Suggest reorder to parallel first half of sentence: "...and its eastern terminus is in St. Mary's at an intersection with..."

"...in more of a north-south fashion toward its western end between Celina and Montezuma. However, the route is primarily an east-west highway." Suggest separating the first part from the preceding sentence and combining with the second part, such as "the route is mainly an east-west highway, although the section between Celina and Montezuma travels in a more north-south fashion." This puts the main idea first and removes primarily adjective that was used nearby.
I think I have fixed the above issues.—CycloneIsaac (Talk) 19:27, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Route description
"No portion of this highway is included within the National Highway System (NHS).[3] The NHS is a network of routes deemed to be most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation.[4]" I think these two sentences could be combined for better flow. Two options that come to mind are "...within the National Highway System (NHS) which is a network..." and "No portion of this highway is included in the network of routes deemed to be most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation known as the National Highway System (NHS)." I'll let you choose which one you think is best, or you can go with your own idea.

"as many as 16,775 vehicles traveling east of Lake Shore Drive, and as few as 1,826 vehicles traveling southeast of It's It Road." I assume these are the busiest/least busy intersections? The prose should specify why these two were picked. It would also be helpful to describe where in the route they fall. It may be necessary to split the material into two sentences, such as "The busiest point in the route according to 2016 data was east of Lake Shore Drive in Celina, where the AADT was 16,775 vehicles. The least busy point was southeast of It's It Road, where..." Other formats that include the information are also ok.
