• "It extends for 72.92 miles (117.35 km) from an interchange with NY 5, NY 5A, NY 8, NY 12, and Interstate 790 (I-790) in Utica" - that's a lot. And that's just the first half of the sentence. Could you simplify? Maybe mention the connection with NY 5A here?
• " when the first set of posted routes in New York were assigned" - don't overlink
• "At this interchange, I-790 is concurrent with NY 5, NY 8, and NY 12 along Utica's North–South Arterial" - this seems like jargon, unless, is that the name of the road?
• "Not far to the east is an interchange for Turner Street" - could you word it other than "not far'?
• The Route Description could use a few more commas where there is already a natural pause
• 3rd paragraph of Route Description is unsourced
• "A super two extension of the freeway east to Mohawk was completed sometime after 1982 (actually in 1992)" - wha?
• "On April 5, 1987, the bridge carrying the New York State Thruway over Schoharie Creek collapsed." - when was the bridge rebuilt? That's recent enough that you should be able to find out. It also seems like the most significant history for the route in recent-ish years

The refs look good. The article is in pretty good shape, so it shouldn't be too difficult to address these issues. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:24, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Comments

@Hurricanehink: I think I fixed everything so far except the "completed by 1992" part. I can't find a source anywhere that shows or says when it was completed by. Do you have any ideas on where I could look? If not I can change the wording and add a later map. Let me know, thanks, 420Traveler (talk) 02:32, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Check newspapers. I recommend the Observer-Dispatch, which seems like the largest local newspaper. If you don't have access to Newspapers.com, check with fellow project members. Someone should have that. It'll help make the article feel more complete having that certainty (for an event within the last 30 years). ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:15, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

@Mitchazenia: Thanks Mitch, are there any articles that say when the super-two was opened from Frankfort to Mohawk? Thanks, 420Traveler (talk) 18:56, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

@Hurricanehink: Unless I missed something, I have fixed everything and it should be ready. Thanks, 420Traveler (talk) 02:29, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
