• Oppose for a few reasons.
  • There's no formatting issues that stand out here, but some of the prose in the history can be refined and tightened. There are a considerable number of short, related sentences that can be combined or reworded to form a solid, complete sentence.
  • The route also has some history dating back to the 1911 legislative routes that isn't addressed in the article. Check out the 1911 PA map.
  • Some of the lengths lack non-breaking spaces (MOS:NUM).
  • After looking at the original route, the current route, and the text, it looks like the route's been rerouted in the vicinity of both Reading and Philadelphia. This should be addressed in the lead, but it doesn't need to be as nearly as detailed as the descriptions in the history. The rest of the lead should be lengthened as well, possibly including major roads intersected and major communities along the route - ones that help to give a brief overview of the progression of the road (and likewise of the article).
  • That's all I see for now. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 04:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
