Recently, a new addition to the MOS called WP:ALT has been introduced that calls for alternative text to be included in an image to help visually impaired readers. The alt= parameter should be added to each image and the junctions in the infobox should use {{jct}}.
Done - changed to {{jct}} in the infobox. The other images in the article already have alt text. -- Rai•me 01:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
"limited-access freeway" sounds wordy, "freeway" would simply suffice here.

"freeway began completion"? "completion" should be "construction".

Do not use "then" in describing progression of route in route description.
Fixed -- Rai•me 01:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
"the freeway and has a complicated interchange" sounds awkward. In addition, what makes the interchange so complicated?
Removed "and". The varying right-hand and left-hand exits as well as the ref to the aerial map display how the interchange is complicated. -- Rai•me 01:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
The sentence "Archaeological research indicated that the portion of Route 37 in Cranston between Exits 2 and 3 was inadvertently constructed over a portion of the State Farm Cemetery in the 1960s; the cemetery's wooden burial markers had deteriorated by the time Route 37 was constructed, and environmental studies that would have indicated the location of the cemetery were not conducted prior to the expressway's construction." needs to be split into two.

I am placing the article on hold. Dough4872 (talk) 00:46, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the review and cheers, Rai•me 01:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
I will pass the article. Dough4872 (talk) 02:40, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

A curved section was added to the westbound road immediately before the west terminus as a safety improvement, intending to curtail an alarming series of crashes (82 in 6 years and 1 month, according to the below press release). I'm not sure how (or if) this should be integrated into the article.
Relevant links:

planning.ri.gov — project authorization, pages 8-9, TIP ID 9601, describes the curve as "similar to a chicane"
ri.gov — RI Dept. of Transportation press release upon completion
turnto10.com — WJAR (local NBC affiliate) report upon completion

I've lived in RI my whole life, and I've never heard of this road described as the "Lincoln Avenue Freeway". --ZeLonewolf (talk) 16:34, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and saw 4 citation needed tags from May 2021 in the "Route description" section. Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 01:38, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

@Z1720: no, that is literally the easiest section of a highway article to cite, and I've added a pair of map citations to what was there already to clear all of the tags. Imzadi 1979 →  04:13, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
@Imzadi1979: Thanks for doing that. I removed the "Future" section per MOS:CURRENT and now think this meets the GA criteria. Z1720 (talk) 13:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
