[edit] Renaming article

See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Interstate Highways#Interstate 74. --MPD01605 (T / C) 17:36, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

There was some talk at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Interstate Highways/Archive2#Interstate 74 but nothing was resolved. I'm thinking of splitting this into Interstate 74 (west) and Interstate 74 (east) as proposed, since there is no way that the two pieces of I-74 will be connected in the near future. This isn't like the old days, when Interstates were discontinuous all over the place; Ohio and West Virginia are not going to build I-74 unless something changes majorly.

I also created I-73/74 North-South Corridor for general information about the entire I-73 and I-74 corridors. --NE2 00:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

The only problem I see is that there isn't substantiative information to warrant an I-74 East article that isn't already part of an article... The thing that keeps me with this is that West Virginia is kind of building some interstate freeway, and plans to, and even has signs up for future routes. Unless a lot of new information comes up that warrants two separate articles, I-74 should be fine, and individual state articles can make up the rest. --MPD01605 (T / C) 01:09, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

West Virginia is building a surface road, not a freeway. The road is marked "I-73/74 North-South Corridor", but will not be able to carry Interstate shields unless it is rebuilt. --NE2 05:34, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
