Lengths are adjectives, so double check that any lengths are separated from other adjectives with a comma.
Anything mileage that converts to less than 1 km should be converted to meters instead of km.
Utilize {{convert}}'s area functionality instead of breaking up dimensions with conversions, i.e.: {{convert|6|x|12|m|ft|abbr=on}} → 6 m × 12 m (20 ft × 39 ft)
Inflation:
Make sure you're using US-GDP for capital works projects like highways.
Also make sure you're using {{Inflation-year}} for the converted year.
I have some questions about the bridge replacement. This is a common occurrence, so why mention it? Why was the weight limit placed on the bridge in 1957? Why did it take 20+ years to happen? Why does it take 9 sentences to say a bridge was replaced?
Could use an actual picture of the route, but that's not always possible.
Overall:

I am placing the article on hold so the nominator can work on it. –Fredddie™ 07:12, 26 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I believe I have fixed everything you mentioned. Let me know if I missed something. Thanks -420Traveler (talk) 13:27, 31 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Looked over it again and noticed something I didn't before. Are refs 8–11 supposed to support that K-149 was on these trails or US 56? Either way, gleaning that from those sources is WP:SYNTHESIS. –Fredddie™ 02:19, 2 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Fredddie: Refs 8-10 support what cities the auto trails terminated in. Ref 11 shows that those auto trails closely folllow what is now US-56. -420Traveler (talk) 13:39, 2 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
That first paragraph doesn't add anything to the article. Yeah sure, US 56 follows some auto trails, but it was some 30 years between the auto trails and K-149's designation. So that paragraph is just fluff; I would get rid of it. –Fredddie™ 02:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Fredddie: Ok I got rid of it. Could have suggested that in the first place. -420Traveler (talk) 14:02, 3 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Your snarky comment almost made me fail the article. Instead of doing that, I'm going to be civil and ask for a second opinion. –Fredddie™ 14:50, 3 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Fredddie: Sorry didn't mean to be "snarky" was just curious. If you had of failed it because I asked a question I would have been able to ask for a second opinion. Thanks -420Traveler (talk) 19:01, 3 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Here are a few things I noticed on a glance.
passes through grasslands characteristic of the Great Plains - I'm not disputing that the land is grassy or that the highway passes through the Great Plains, but the fact that the grasslands are "characteristic" is neither sourced in the article nor particularly relevant.
@Epicgenius: I cant think of a different way to make it sound better, or should I find a source. Do you have any suggestions? -420Traveler (talk) 20:08, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Fredddie told me that he actually added this, so I guess you can disregard this comment per WP:FACTS. – Epicgenius (talk) 20:15, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Epicgenius: ok Sounds good. Other than that I think I have fixed all the other issues. -420Traveler (talk) 14:08, 5 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
All right. I think Fredddie would have to make a final decision now. My second-opinion comments are merely advisory and the original reviewer has the ultimate say over whether the GAN should be passed. – Epicgenius (talk) 16:24, 5 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Epicgenius says it's fine, so I will pass the article. –Fredddie™ 17:45, 5 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
The highways alignment has not changed since it was created. - "highway's" is supposed to have an apostrophe.
Aside from a 1/10-mile (160 m) jog to the east due to a survey correction near its midpoint - "Near its midpoint" should probably go right after "jog to the east".
Fixed I hadnt wrote it that way, @Fredddie had changed it to that during his review. -420Traveler (talk) 19:01, 3 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Shouldn't the Great Plains be mentioned directly rather than having it piped like [[Great Plains|plains]]?
There's not really much to say here. Given how short the highway is, and the lack of features on it, I suppose that's all that can be written in terms of comprehensiveness. Otherwise, I agree with the comments Fredddie made in his review. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:59, 3 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
