Hi Floydian, I will review this article. I'll leave some in-depth comments later. Epicgenius (talk) 19:26, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Prose, POV, and coverage

Lead:

• This section highway was redesignated - This is missing a word.
• "Concurrency (Road)" is a red link, but Concurrency (road) does exist.
• Two years prior to that, the highway was extended south from Madoc to Highway 14 at Foxboro. - Should this be chronological?
• was renumbered as Highway 148 - "as" may be unnecessary here.

Route description

• Within urbanized Belleville [...] through the city. - This feels a little redundant because Belleville is already mentioned as an urbanized area.
• Highway 62 encounters the former southern terminus of Highway 37, until 1997, at Station Street. - The sentence structure is a little confusing. It seems to me that Highway 62 intersects Station Street, which was Highway 37's terminus until 1997. Is that correct, or was Highway 37 concurrent with Highway 62 and just happened to end at that street?
• It ends at the junction with Highway 127, with which it also shares a common terminus - This is doubly redundant. If the routes share a terminus, they have a common terminus. And if either is true, you usually don't additionally need to put "also".

History

• and so Highway 62 remained separated for a quarter century. - I would rephrase this as "and so the two sections of Highway 62..." since usually, when the word "separated" is used in this way, it's between multiple things.
• Several years later, Highway 62 was extended concurrently along Highway 60 between Barry's Bay and Killaloe and north along Highway 521 to Tramore on the southeast side of Round Lake in 1960 - "Several years later" can just be replaced with "Four years later", or you can preface the sentence with "In 1960". In either case, that will then make the ending clause "in 1960" unnecessary.
• reuniting the two discontinuous sections - In this case, "discontinuous" would be redundant as you cannot reunite something that is continuous. Also, the reader likely already knows the sections are discontinuous.
• Discussions are underway to build a second bridge, - As of when?

Major intersections

• Millbridge - Old Hastings Road - Are there kilometer-posts for this interchange?

References

• I did a few checks, and there do not appear to be any issues.

Images and copyright

• All images appear freely licensed, either public domain or under CC.
• Copyvio check doesn't reveal anything concerning.

General comments

@Epicgenius: is this review complete or do you have more to look through? If you're done, I've dealt with every issue you raised so far (check my rewording re: point #2 for the Route description) - Floydian ^τ _¢ 13:53, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Floydian, I still have to look through the references, which I didn't realize I had forgotten to do. This will take me a couple of days, but the page looks good so far. Epicgenius (talk) 14:50, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
