This article is a very promising GA nominee. I'm delighted to see your work here. I'm putting the article on hold. All the best! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 02:38, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

• Done
• Beefed it up, not sure if it's enough
• I've added some missing info about the early history of the road in the Bruce Peninsula. Fortunately it was already written over at Ontario Highway 6. I've also downgraded the subsections, but I feel the history of the two highways should have some separation, even though the recent incarnation doesn't have quite the colourful history.

Once again, thanks for taking on this pileup of reviews. I'm certain to have some more up in the coming weeks. Cheers, Floydian ^τ _¢ 01:31, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

OK, everything looks good now. Passing the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 02:22, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
