I'm not sure how old this is, so it's probably been discussed before. Historically, the letter suffixes on the exit numbers Alphabet Loop in Kansas City famously went up to 2Y. But at some point Exit 2Z was added.

Unless I'm proved otherwise, these are the changes I expect to see:

There's probably going to be a gap in I-695, with the Key Bridge now missing.

I-490 around o'Hare is completed and labeled as such.

I-69 in KY is extended to a stub end before the Ohio River.

I-49 is extended down to Ft. Chaffee.

Just saw this single OR 370 shield today, posted at the junction of O'Neil Hwy and 17th St, near 370's west end:




I drove the entire length of 370 to Prineville and back, but this was the only 370 shield I saw. I'm pretty sure this was put up after October, the last time I drove the route.

Odd that only one shield was up. This is reminiscent of the nearby OR 380, where a single shield was posted for a couple of years, also at a side-road junction, before ODOT got around to fully signing the highway.

Still, another Oregon route finally officially gets some signage. Hopefully, there is more to come.

Seems like we've gotten about as far as we'll get then. Although I wonder if I could commission Jake to make a VA 315 cutout shield, pass it off as an art piece, and donate it to the VMFA on the condition that they post it on the road somewhere.

In addition, unless you actually have GMaps plan a route, it doesn't show up as closed right now.

Sure it does.

Looks like you have to zoom in quite a bit. From a route planning perspective it doesn't. And on mobile, if I zoom enough, I see a "closed winters" label but no red lines like you show.

Lions make history, becoming the first team to make -1 selections in the first round. They un-drafted the 12th man on the field vs Washington.

Google Earth aerial imagery shows that the two segments of the Coalfields Expressway in KY (KY 3174) are definitely still separate with a little bit of construction. The middle segment was supposed to open this year but I'm not entirely sure how likely that is.

I saw that too, but how often is Google Maps Satellite View updated?

Good question, supposedly the imagery is from 2025 but I'm honestly not sure.

I am hoping someone here has driven it in the last year and can report from on the ground.

If Milwaukee doesn't want it, then they should build a Buc-ee's in Milwaukie (a suburb of Portland, OR). Big DUH!!! moment waiting to happen, with the chain logo also appearing in the state's nickname.

Given that their mascot is a beaver, I'm frankly surprised that they're not expanding to Portland, OR, or anywhere else in the state for that matter. It would certainly be a fitting West Coast debut, for sure.
