1957 map has the freeway east of Kuhnsville and added at the last minute west to New Smithville, then under construction west to the edge
1956 map has nothing from west of New Smithville west to near Hamburg, but under construction at Hamburg, including Schuylkill River bridge
1956 map has new 4LD surface US 22 from 72 (off the map) west to west of 39 (off the map)
1956 map has new 4LD surface US 22 from off the map into Harrisburg
1960 map (PDF) has US 22 freeway where I-78 is now
Would Route 24 be considered major on the 78 info page? That's pretty major
Would Route 22 be acceptable on the Route 78 page since they merge and split in Clinton?
Was I correct to add the NJ 24 shield to the Interstate 78 infobox?

message: Per the informal WP:USRD "three state rule," I'd like to propose that the three state-detail articles for Interstate 78 be merged into one article.  The result would be very similar to Interstate 24. –Fredddie™ 14:39, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Support - Usually I would apply the three-state rule and keep separate articles, but since the NY section is so short I see the sense of covering I-78 in one article. At 143 miles total I don't see a problem with a single article. Dough4872 15:22, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

text: Weak oppose. The NY section of I-78 might be physically short, but it has a long and pretty detailed history (the Lower Manhattan and Cross-Brooklyn Expressways) and just passed GAN. However, that is probably the only reason why I oppose this merger. I do agree that I-78 in NY is pretty short, and that in itself may merit a merge. It's just that the NJ and PA sections may also need to be improved to at least B-class standards. Otherwise we get something like Interstate 94 in Indiana, where the former Good Article Borman Expressway is still choppily integrated into the article. epicgenius (talk) 22:56, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed the history section was pretty lengthy and thought that we would probably want to split that off somehow. –Fredddie™ 23:05, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah. I was thinking that if this merger is enacted, we can split the Lower Manhattan Expressway article again, as well as create the Cross Brooklyn Expressway article. Turns out that I originally merged the LOMEX article into the I-78 (NY) article because there wasn't enough justification at the time to maintain two articles about different aspects of the same topic. epicgenius (talk) 23:42, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I think articles about the two unbuilt expressways in New York City is a good idea, as not to give undue historical weight in the I-78 article. However, the historical backgrounds of the two unbuilt expressways should still be summarized in the history of I-78. Dough4872 01:59, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I strongly agree with this because there are too many (sub)articles about shorter pieces of short Interstate Highways! There is no need for one about I-78 in New Jersey, either.24.121.195.165 (talk) 06:42, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Support For all the obove reasons. User:WG HighwayNd4 23:45, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose The highway goes into 3 states, and they all have a lot of history. Putting them altogether makes the new article overwhelming and I suggest keeping the current format the same way for the future. ActivBowser9177 (talk) 17:34, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
