Improved to Good Article status by SounderBruce (talk). Self-nominated at 20:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/U.S. Route 101; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

article was recently promoted to GA, is long enough and within policy. The hooks are all short enough and generally interesting. My preference is for ALT1. SounderBruce, you need 2 QPQs right now because DYK is backlogged (see Wikipedia:Did you know/Guidelines#Mandatory reviews). Let me know when you get your second. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:47, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
