I have not reviewed an article about Japanese highways before so this will be interesting. I will start the review shortly once I have taken a look to see what other similar articles there are. simongraham (talk) 07:19, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

@Mccunicano: Great work so far. Please ping me when you would like me to take another look. simongraham (talk) 07:35, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

• As User:Mccunicano is self-declared away from wikipedia for an indefinite time, I am updated the page in line with the recommendations and request a second opinion. simongraham (talk) 04:38, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
• @Simongraham: My apologies for not being able to get to this review sooner. It seems that you have went through and made a lot of edits to the article (thank you!), so I'm not sure if there is much I can do to move this along at this stage since you've already gotten a second opinion? I'd be happy to help in any way I can as I start to re-establish a routine. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 17:15, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
  • @Mccunicano: Welcome back. It is good to see you again. I have not had a response to my request for a second reviewer so please take a look and see if you would like to make any amendments and then I will complete my review. simongraham (talk) 13:52, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
• @Simongraham: Thanks, it will be a bit (if ever) before I can edit as frequently as I used to. I've made some fixes throughout the article. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 07:44, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
  • @Mccunicano: Great work. I will complete the review. simongraham (talk) 04:09, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Interested third party observations

• The Route is not highlighted in red in mobile view.
  • Noted.
• The use of “southwest-northeast” in the lead, while accurate, is inconsistent with the “westbound-eastbound” used elsewhere in the article.
  • Amended.
• Clickable links in references should be in English in the English WP.
  • The references are available in English are linked in English.
• “Closed/former” in the RJL footer is superfluous.
  • The is in the template.
• It seems illogical to show redlinks for existing articles in the Japanese WP. Downsize43 (talk) 10:46, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Removed.
• Exit at 39.0 km has no destination or note. Downsize43 (talk) 23:59, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Corrected
• Thank you, Downsize43. In the absence of User:Mccunicano, I have made relevant edits. simongraham (talk) 04:38, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
