Reviewer: Racepacket (talk) 00:28, 28 January 2011 (UTC) I enjoyed this article. The first time I drove through the Wheeling Tunnel was in April 1969.[reply]

Hah, my parents were 8 when you drove through for the first time :p. --Admrboltz (talk) 03:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC) We drove from Baltimore MD to Athens OH on the recently-opened I-70.[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

Disamb. links and external links check out.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
You have the opening date in the infobox. I suggest it also be in the text.

The infobox states that this is I-70 and US Route 250, but I suggest it also be in the text.

If the opening date was in 1966, why the category "1967 establishments"?
Corrected.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Was the tunnel planned as a part of the interstate highway system, or were there long-standing plans which predate the system?
Sources claim this to be the most expensive single contract on the IHS in West Virginia, so I would say that this was just part of the IHS and not any previous plans. --Admrboltz (talk) 01:57, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any plans at present to improve the tunnel. Fn 17 makes reference to an "incident detection system."
From what I can tell, that has been added, but its a normal safety feature that's present in any tunnel of length nowadays. --Admrboltz (talk) 01:57, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about reporting the cost of the tunnel rennovation. (Fn 17 says $13.7 million).

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
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):
Nice photo which checks out.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
I am placing the article on hold. Racepacket (talk) 01:48, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
