  • New enough, long enough. Generally sourced (all sources are in Spanish; accepted in good faith)and neutral (though see notes below) and earwig didn't detect copyvio issues. Hook is certainly interesting and sourced (again, Spanish-language source, so AGF). Picture is properly licensed in Commons. Note (please address them before I pass this)
  • Could you add one or two sentence (or a top-level heading) to tie the three section of the article? Currently they seem to stand on their own without a common flow.
  • In the hook could you use the article title Mexican Federal Highway 95D rather than the nickname Autopista del Sol? I don't think non-Spanish-speaking readers would know what an "autopista" is. Also consider a different word than "to tunnel".
  • Also the article has an uncited claim about containing the world's tallest bridge when it was built. Could you add a citation?

  • @ HaEr48: Alright, let's go through all these one by one.
  • Done. Toll highways in Mexico are not continuous like US interstates. The same number can be applied to a number of discontinuous segments paralleling a longer, more "complete" non-toll road. (This is also why I wrote the hook with Autopista del Sol in particular, but I'm proposing an ALT1 to correct that issue). This makes writing articles like Mexican Federal Highway 180D far more complicated as there are no fewer than five separate Highway 180D roads in five states.
  • ALT1: ... that Mexican Federal Highway 95D passes under an archeological site (pictured) uncovered during its construction?
  • Also done. Raymie ( tc) 03:33, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. Good to go now. HaEr48 ( talk) 03:43, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
