1. It is reasonably well written.

   Nice job how you completely did the article in only four edits.

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   I will put the article on hold for the few prose issues I have.

• What project? (lead)
  • I rewrote the last two sentences of the Lead to remove the ambiguity.  VC  03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

• The description of lanes in the route description is pretty confusing. I don't have many suggestions for rewording, but I suggest that you reword it somehow.
  • Can you be more specific about what confuses you?  VC  03:44, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
    • Never mind that. I read it over again and again and can't find any better way to say it. The article is a pass. --PCB 04:16, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

• There are several overlinking instances, such as the continuous-flow interchange and MD 210.
  • Both items are linked twice: once in the prose and once in the caption of the photo, which is MOS-compliant.  VC  03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

• Could you specify what Piney Branch is?
  • I added a clause that Piney Branch is a tributary of Mattawoman Creek.  VC  03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

• There's a repeating pattern in the first paragraph of the history. "A BLA was BLAHed to/in BLAH in YEAR." Maybe you should mix this up a little.
  • There is sufficient variety in how I phrase the content of that paragraph. It is not like I am using the same words in every sentence.  VC  03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

• Could you get a little more information about 228A? History if possible? Maybe a little more about the route?--PCB 01:50, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
  • I have a general idea of when MD 228A was built or assigned, but I am unable to support it with concrete sources. The road is a very short state-maintained section of a county highway that is not notable.  VC  03:26, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
