• I'll take this one on. Courcelles (talk) 16:24, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

• "I-278, the only I-78 spur to leave New York City, has a western terminus on Linden, New Jersey, and passes northward and eastward through all five boroughs, with its eastern end at the Bruckner Interchange in the Bronx." Source? Especially for entering all five boroughs.
  • I added this FHWA source for I-278 being the only actual inter-state Interstate 78 spur. The others (478, 678, 878) are also described in this source as being exclusively in NYC.
• Calling the airport Kennedy when talking about the 1950's strikes me as an anachronism.
  • Fixed. epicgenius (talk) 23:11, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
• "Opposition also formed over the fact that the highway would create a "Chinese wall" separating the neighborhoods of Lower Manhattan." I can't read the source, does it actually use the term "Chinese wall"?
  • Yeah. The source said The Moses expressway was fought bitterly, with its opponents asserting that it would become a Chinese wall stretching across Lower Manhattan... epicgenius (talk) 23:11, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Have to go out now, so intermediate save and I'll finish when I get home. Courcelles (talk) 16:50, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

• "The low bid of $1,017,585" Should likely inflate this into modern dollars.
  • Done.
• " the Bushwick route was opposed due to the necessary destruction of residences and businesses in Brooklyn in Queens" Brooklyn and Queens, perhaps?
  • Fixed.
• Got some shouting in the referencing.
  • Fixed.
• Images all seem to be licensed correctly.
• Article is stable and neutral.

@Courcelles: Thank you for doing this review so quickly. I have addressed all the issues you have pointed out. epicgenius (talk) 23:11, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

NB: This article passes, but the paperwork is downright difficult on an Ipad. Will do when I see a real desktop. Courcelles (talk) 16:08, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
