   Pass/Fail:

1

• "Route 66 is a state highway located in Monmouth County in the U.S. state of New Jersey." doesn't flow, the two in just makes it sound clunky.
• Consider unpiping American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as a lot of readers may not be familiar with the ARRA.

2

• All references use citation templates.
• Links are all valid.
• There is a lack of secondary sources, which are a requirement to pass general notability guidelines.
• Refs:
  • 1: SLD is a good primary source.
  • 2: GMaps. Make sure you read User:Davemeistermoab/maps, appears to be fine though.
  • 3: Identifies that the outlet malls is along the route.
  • 4: primary source to identify renumbering. Okay.
  • 5: primary source
  • 6: Blog. Non WP:RS
  • 7: Blog. Non RS.
    • I believe The Coaster is a weekly newspaper and not a blog. Dough4872 (talk) 23:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
  • 8: Press release.
  • 9: Press release.

Thanks for the review, I have replied to the above changes. I modified some of the information that was not available elsewhere but the press releases. Dough4872 (talk) 23:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
