For the first time since the forum restarted, I finally have an update to announce! The PA State College meet in April now has a page, along with various sights from the meet on various pages, and there's a lot of NJ work too including Bergen County. If you like old route shields, you'll love Bergen and its many new CR pages. So head on over to http://www.alpsroads.net/roads (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads)!
Thanks for the update but all the links on the updated section from "Garden State Parkway" and down link to the US 404 page.
And that is totally FIXED! My bad.
It took six months for one update and now 6 days for the next one. The second half of the update is all things Florida. Check out button copy and bridges on I-275 and I-95, or feast on 193 photos (and a video) from US 1 starting in Miami and continuing down to Key West. Enjoy more Bahia Honda Bridge and Seven Mile Bridge than you thought possible! http://www.alpsroads.net/roads (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads) has the new Florida update listed with handy links.
Hey alps, do you need Maine photos? You seem to lack Maine on your site.

Funny you mention it. Next update has 331 photos and 3 videos from that great state!
Aww :-(
On this page http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/fl/i-95/s.html (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/fl/i-95/s.html)
"FL 817 NB and SB at FL 848, which also goes west to FL 823, but who really cares about that road? There appears to have at one point been another sign on each assembly, so that could have been a WEST 848. I believe these are courtesy Costa Ioannidis - please correct or confirm."
Yes, that's correct.
New updates! My Memorial Day trip is up along with all the photos from New England - especially Maine - and a good number from Maryland. http://www.alpsroads.net/roads (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads) has the gooey details.

What roads do you add coverage for in Maryland? I am looking at your MD-272 page and don't think that you had it before. I love the Turkey Point area at the south end of MD-272. Have hiked there many times!
The front page tells all re: the updates. Yes, MD 272 (Elk Neck) page is one of the new ones. I went up and down the coastline of the northern Chesapeake.
Sign rot:

I've never taken the I-695 spur westbound or saw this sign http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/dc/i-295/b9.jpg (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/dc/i-295/b9.jpg)
Since you did some hiking around Elk Neck, next time you are in northeastern MD take MD-24 to Rocks State Park. Definitely worth a visit!
Funny that a good chunk of your I-95 CT signs are now history.... everything from NY to Exit 30 has been replaced, and they're working right now on Exits 35-42 and 47-50.
As of this moment, Alps' Roads has well over 1,000 more photos from the great state of New York. Coverage includes the entirety of Long Island (including Shelter Island), the Highland Road Meet on October 3 (aka Poughkeepsie, aka Newburgh), and some pre-Highland festivities that not everyone at the meet got to see (Wallkill Valley Railroad Bridge, Perrine's Bridge on NY 213). So you owe it to the gringoes to bip on over and check out the latest, greatest, NY photos. As always, the full update digest is on http://www.alpsroads.net/roads, and comments/corrections/submittals/etc. are always welcome.
P.S. Why only 75% complete? Well over 400 photos of the Long Island Motor Parkway will be coming your way shortly! Stay tuned.

The update has been completed. Come over to the Long Island Motor Parkway at http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/ny/limp (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/ny/limp) and see nearly 450 photos of just about as many sections of the old Parkway as can possibly be traversed along with a detailed history and directions on how to access all of the same sections I found. As always, especially with a significant project like this, comments and corrections will be welcomed. I am especially looking for input from/relating to the other major Parkway websites as linked on the front LIMP page.
Since I will be leaving for even more Old Northwest photos tomorrow, I thought it would be good to get some of them into an UPDATE! At http://www.alpsroads.net/roads you will find highlights including a new Puerto Rico page, Michael Summa's sign collection (it's dandy), the original brick National Road in Illinois, the 2009 Indianapolis Road Meet, bridges of Cincinnati, hundreds of new Michigan photos including the Historic Bridge Park, abandoned Troy Meadow Rd. in NJ, and a whole bunch of button copy in Indiana and New Jersey. I expect to see you at http://www.alpsroads.net/roads. May the New Year bring you more happy travels and less Clearview!
wow, Mike S has a West Virginia turnpike coffin shield? excellent!
I'll be seeing him around Jan 25th ... definitely looking forward to that visit. He's been an incredible help with the shield gallery as he has been taking photos and collecting signs since 1969. The only person I know who regularly took photos longer ago than that is Jim Lindsay (1953 to today, and still going strong - the shield gallery has photos from him from the 50s, and photos from him from last month).
I've just added 1,500 photos (out of 2,900 total) to my Ohio empire. Feast on the treats of the Waldvogel Viaduct, abandoned Maryland Ave. and Torrence Rd. in Cincinnati, and plenty of other Interstate, US, and state highway goodies around the state! As always, comments/corrections/questions and, of course, submittals are welcome! The details are in the link:

I'll try to keep my following comments specific to each page of yours, but general to the regions.
Cleveland
I-490 started out as (proposed) I-80 N then I-290 (which was to have gone out along Shaker Blvd (Oh 87) to I-271) before its current status. I don't know of any freeway extensions east of I-271 into Geauga County other than US 422 (and US 322 4 laning that ends at the county line)
Dennison Expwy (I-71/I-90/Shoreway West connectors) was to have continued south as mainline I-71 through Parma and North Royalton as late as 1957. By 1960, I-71 south's routing had changed to the present routing.
I-480 N (the connector between I-480 and US 422) was originally intended to be US 422 all the way to the Oh 14 exit (according to Marc Fannin). Thus the extra space on the BGS for exit 26B (Rockside Rd) from I-271 NB.
Youngstown
I don't understand what you're saying about US 422 with the bypasses of Warren & DT Youngstown with surface routes.
Columbus
What is now I-670 (from I-70 west to I-71) was originally to be I-70. By the mid 60s ODOT/Columbus had already decided that bringing I-70 west traffic into the Spring-Sandusky interchange was a bad idea, thus the present routing of I-70 from I-670 to I-71/315 (and a reconstruction of the then Mound-Sandusky interchange into what it is today)
Thus the (old) funky signage for I-670 @ Grandview Ave. for many years (prior to I-670 being completed). I-70 was completed to Grandview Ave. in the late 60s and left like that till the "reroute" was completed in the mid 70s.
Also, I-71 was NEVER routed on Oh 315, between the innerbelt and I-270. In fact, the 315 interstate wasn't completed till 1982 (I-71, in comparison was completed through Columbus by 1966).
I-670 east (I-71 to I-270) was conceived and built to connect DT C-bus and Port Columbus.
The actual purpose of the US 62 freeway (from west of the Airport on into Gahanna), prior to I-670 is unknown to me. But all those photos were taken after I-670 was extended east in the mid 90s. Thus all those signs have yet to be replaced.
I-270 west used to have Indianapolis as the control city before the "Dayton tape job"
Also that "exit only" tab on 315 (on your I-270 index page) wasn't a "tape job" just shoddy work.
The reason for the exit spacing on I-270 between I-670 and Oh 161 (Easton area) was done on purpose. The developers (Leslie Wexner of The Limited clothing fame) wanted to (esentially) have exclusive access from the Easton exit to New Albany. They paid ODOT handsomely (both above and below table) for this to happen. It was a favorite subject between me and one of my Geography professors @ Ohio State.
Signage around I-270 and I-71 north has changed (again) due to construction in the last year or two.
All BGS signage at Polaris now includes the 750 shield within the signs, not as an extra appendage.
Oh your US 33 page, you have a I-270 south Wheeling sign photo. I believe that sign is along Oh 161 east. Notice the blue directional sign beneith the BGS. It has 161 on it, not 33.
Central Ohio
Oh 13 was to be a 4 lane expressway from Mansfield to Newark (according to state plans from 1961 & 1972). Only parts built were from the Mansfield city limits to near Belleville and the bypass to the west of Fredricktown. Though, a map of Mt. Vernon, from the 1980s show a proposed Oh 13 bypass to the west of Mt. Vernon.
(You can go ahead and kick this to the Great Lakes forum sub-section)
Though this may be too esoteric, I will try to address the points in order. No one else may be interested...

I had found information about considering such an extension. I'm not distinguishing between ideas vs. realistic/drawn plans when I write, so it may never have made it onto paper.

Not sure that changes what I have written on any of my pages... I'm not telling a full history of routes, I'm only telling history as it is relevant to what I'm showing.

I'll make a note of that on the I-271 page - thanks!
QuoteI don't understand what you're saying about US 422 with the bypasses of Warren & DT Youngstown with surface routes.
I think I was referring obliquely to OH 82 and PA 60 (now I-376 anyway). I'll fix it.

I-71 did use 315 as far as I-670. I had heard elsewhere that it was studied to continue straight north from there as well. I'll clarify.
QuoteI-670 east (I-71 to I-270) was conceived and built to connect DT C-bus and Port Columbus.

It seemed like the signs were taken before the airport interchange was reconstructed. But John K. did make multiple passes through there, apparently. I'll update accordingly - also will recaption the last photo now that I see where it is.

Got it, thanks.

OH 161 intersects both sides of I-270, as a freeway, and one of them has US 33. I just chose the wrong side.

The Waldvogel Viaduct is uber-cool!! Along with the abandoned roads (which I'll have to look up on google to see how/why they were replaced) and the bridges!

I think Steve will need a harem of hot, busty interns to assist with his page updates before long. I've joked about that for Gribblenation in the past.
All hot, busty contributions are greatly appreciated.
A tremendous amount of time later, many false starts and interesting twists and turns in my life, I finally squeezed out the last of my Virginia roads and I present to you an UPDATE! There are two new meets posted (DC from November and Detroit from January) and a lot of material from Virginia and Pennsylvania. The highlights include three new videos, 123 new Virginia US 11 photos, plenty of new construction and post-construction photos from the Springfield Interchange/Wilson Bridge (thanks to the DC meet), and the 2009 New River Gorge Bridge Day on US 19 in West Virginia. As usual, all of the juicy bits are listed on www.alpsroads.net/roads, and comments/contributions/corrections are always welcome and appreciated.
Great update! I enjoyed the new DC, PA, and WV photos the most. I take it that the buttoncopy on I-395 in DC aswell as I-70 in WV are still there?
There's no button copy anymore on I-395 proper...DDOT replaced all the overhead signage along I-395 a couple years ago. Some of the approach roads, as well as ramps to/along the Southeast Freeway still have button copy, though.
All of it? Including these?

Thats a shame. I was really hoping to shoot the ones on I-395. But ah well, the ones on the ramps can be a consolation prize. You included it in your update Steve, but just to be safe, is the I-95/I-295 BGS under the L'Enfant Promenade still there or no?
Yes, including those. Note the exit numbers, which didn't exist before the sign changeover.
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
I thought the exit tabs were just an addition and DDOT was going to leave those along. Ah well, I was hoping to get some shots of those. So do you know if the I-95/I-295 BGS under L'Enfant Promenade is still there? I know its on Steve's site and included it in the update, but I wanted to be safe since his photos are from November. I also want to get some shots of some of the other district named I-95 and I-395 shields scattered throughout the district as well as some old traffic signals including those old neon NO LEFT TURN signs (there are 2 of them just outside the Holocaust Museum, as well as a district name I-395 green sign right near it).

I believe that District of Columbia is still there as of early July. The non-cutouts are definitely still in place.
This nearby sign (https://www.aaroads.com/mid-atlantic/district_of_columbia/us-001_nb_at_madison_dr_nw.jpg) was corrected, though its replacement (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/dc/us_1/nmadison.jpg) uses non-standard fonts.

that's the one, except it blocks Alps as "streaming media". I've never seen anything blocked as "travel" so I don't think our company uses that as a filter. AARoads comes through fine, as do other travel sites like Orbitz.

damn. it managed to find the
one YouTube video embedded on your site, and hosed the entire set of hundreds of pages? Websense, what a bunch of morons.
that explains why the site got borked just a few days ago - they just blocked YouTube and other streaming media explicitly.
Interesting - I went in to the site @ work and it loaded - it's how your company sets up their blocker. to block the object or the site - in your case it was the latter.
Discussion of DC has been moved to Mid-Atlantic (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?board=4).
https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=3303.0
I've redesigned my site entry portal to be 500% easier to read and find links. It's not a total site redesign by any means, but this brings it more in line with the design standards I try to hold myself to. (No need to stifle laughter, let it out.)
And I've squeezed out another one! 1,600 photos of the Southeast US, featuring extensive new content in Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Among the highlights:
New road meet in Tulsa
Truck US 11/78 on 14th St. Birmingham
Old bridges in AL (US 31, Legg Bridge) and OK (OK 18, OK 66, Blackburn) including history on AL US 80 in Selma
3 videos in Alabama
So blast on over to http://www.alpsroads.net/roads and don't forget to crack a roo!
Regarding your I-22 comment on your root Mississippi page, a bit of history is in order here: the plan for a US 78 freeway between Memphis and Birmingham goes back over 4 decades...with Mississippi completing their part in 1994. The idea to designate it as I-22 came much later...only about 10 years ago. So the claim that "MS and AL have made big mistakes by designating the new highway as US 78" doesn't really apply here.

Fair cop.
In less than three weeks I've exhorted another 1,500+ photos to join the Internet for your viewing pleasure. Huge amounts of new content for Louisiana, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland, some areas of which have been historically lacking in road coverage online. A collection of Polish signs for your pleasure. 2 videos, cats-eye signs, and more bridges and scenery than you can shake a Truth Stick (TM) at.

Ah okay. Well, can't wait to see them. I know within the next few weeks I finally want to upload Florida photos from all the way back in April.
You need some Québec photos? I have some!

Good morning! For the first time in two years, I've updated the NON roads part of my website! So click on over to http://www.alpsroads.net/www (http://www.alpsroads.net/www) - note the different address this time - and see what the fuss is about. Several new states, some incredible scenery, several sunsets and sunrises, a bunch of videos, some incredible events, all are in the mix here. Even if you're a road enthusiast, you can appreciate a little change of pace!
Even though it's not roads, comments, corrections, etc. are still welcomed. I discovered a lot of broken links - if you see something, say something! (TM Port Authority Police)
So when you will update the Roads section?

600 more non-roads to go from AL, LA, MS. LA is half-edited, the other two are done. Then I have to write them up. Figure by my birthday I'll start again on roads. These non-roads were piling up though - back to early 2009!
OK, thank you.

Speaking of which - DONE!!! www.alpsroads.net/www
After months with nothing but non-roads, Alps'
ROADS has finally returned with over 1,500 photos for your perusal. Highlights include:
- 66 new Mexico photos
- 22 new Delaware 1 photos (2 construction projects)
- VA 43/US 11 James River Bridge photos
- 2 new Vermont covered bridges and almost 100 other VT photos
- 7 new videos total
But the star of the show is NJ, with new I-78 and Garden State Parkway construction photos, Turnpike widening photos, a lot more of the Beesley's Point Bridge on US 9, US 46/NJ 15 construction, NJ 52 Causeway Bridge construction, historical NJ 169, and several hundred other photos (nearly 1,000 in all!). For all the details you'll want to visit Alps' Roads (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads).
you've got a 404 on Old Route 1 and 3 in Mexico.
I should recognize those pictures - I was the one driving around with Lou Corsaro!
here are my photos from that trip:

Yours are better, I looked at them way back when they were posted. Fixed the link, it was a failed numbering plan.
Regarding "D" in the federal route marker for cuotas: the full official label for a toll highway in Mexico is carretera directa de cuota--literally "direct highway with a toll"--so the "D" is for directa. Also, kilometerposting behavior varies somewhat in Mexico, but generally kilometerposts count down to a state capital or other large city, and up to the state line.

Wow, thank you for the info - that stuff has been impossible to find anywhere else.
http://dgst.sct.gob.mx/index.php?id=659 is a decent set of maps and route logs of federal and state highways in each Mexican state (if you can get them to load; they seem a little slow right now). I don't think there are defined routings through cities; treat signs as if they had invisible 'TO's.
What's a few months between friends? Have an update! http://www.alpsroads.net/roads and the following details:
* Almost 1,000 photos from Pennsylvania, focusing on the central and western areas of the state
* 5 new videos
* 2 new meet pages and 1 new route numbering scheme (already posted elsewhere in the forum)
* I have no idea. It's been too long. Comments, corrections, etc. always welcome.

I should have taken notes on the questions you posed on the Kentucky pages. I can probably answer most of them.

All the links to routes on your RI route numbering scheme lead to US 404. ;)
Excellent comment. No longer a concern.
Welcome to another update! Brought to you by the letters M and D, and the letters O and H. Those are the features this month (just in time for the Watertown meet, too), and here are some things to watch for:
Akron and Baltimore meet pages are finally up, just a year and a half late...
In Ohio, check out OH 172, the former Lincoln Highway. You'll like what you see.
In Maryland, there is a LOT of interesting stuff:
* Alt. US 40 and Casselman River Bridge, US 40 and Wilson Bridge, and the other National Road photos west of Baltimore
* MD 144 and Monocacy River bridges, and even more from the National Road
* US 50 and Choptank River Bridge, and other new photos east of DC
* ICC construction (I-95, MD 200, MD 97 pages)
* I-95 around Baltimore, I-70 and I-83 stubs with button copy and MD 149 stubs (Moravia Road)
* Old MD 194 near Pennsylvania
The complete list is at www.alpsroads.net/roads. As always, comments, corrections, suggestions, contributions, etc. are welcome!
I am thankful for being able to process coherent thought after an all-nighter of photo editing. You can be thankful to have over 1,400 new photos and 6 new videos to peruse in my latest update! Later on we'll all be thankful for the copious amounts of turkey, fixings, and especially desserts that we get to ingest. But until then, have some fresh Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts material to tide you over and get you through the long weekend. I will be thankful for comments, corrections, etc. as always!

Ho, Ho, Hupdate! Sneaking under your tree this evening is another 1,500 photo update, this time from the states of New York and Connecticut. Here are some of the highlights:
New York:
I-78 - Cooper Union exhibit on a Lower Manhattan Expressway concept
I-278 - Lots of Verrazano Bridge photos and a trip under the Gowanus Expwy.
NY 39 - Three old stone bridges
NY 211 - One very memorable sign error
Syracuse - Tipperary Hill with the famous upside-down traffic light
Connecticut: Hundreds of updated and new freeway button copy photos
CT 72 - New expressway construction photos in Bristol
There's plenty more, including a total of 6 new videos, so click on over to http://www.alpsroads.net/roads and feast on an update more fattening than a Christmas goose! As always, comments, corrections, information, etc. are welcome.
Realizing I've hit a stall with my Arizona scenery photos, I've nonetheless decided to get the 1,200 road photos online, featuring old US 66, the old US 80 Ocean to Ocean Bridge, and incredible amounts of button copy. There's a lot more from US 66 coming in the scenery photos, so stay tuned!
I hate to say this, Steve, but your images of NY 25A are all red "X's":

That'd be the wrong index file, clearly. Thanks.
Five months late, but I've finally gotten the Arizona scenery photos uploaded. (http://www.alpsroads.net/www/az)
Two updates in the same month! New Mexico Roads (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/) has gotten a shot in the arm with well over 500 new photos of old US 66/85 alignments and a bunch of state and US highways. I even threw in a couple of videos. As always, comments, corrections, information, etc. welcomed.
Now the non-roads component of the last update. By far the most photos from any single state, 1,162 photos have been added to New Mexico Non-Roads (http://www.alpsroads.net/www/nm). It includes a lot of scenery and plenty of old motel/building signs along Route 66. It's not roads, but some of it is roads related, so click over and check it out!
Newest update: ALMOT (Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas). Ring in your Labor Day weekend with almost 1,500 photos featuring US 66 in Texas and western Oklahoma, other old Oklahoma alignments, Shreveport and all its bridges, and Future I-49 from there to Texarkana, among others. Comments/corrections/information welcome, as always. Enjoy your time off! And to our international visitors, ha ha, we get time off!

Concerning "OLD US 380"-
Texas 24 (west of Greenville) became US 380 in 1971. Therefore, if this bridge was bypassed before 1971, it would be "Old Texas 24". I have no idea when this bridge was bypassed. Did you happen to observe the design caracteristics of the new bridge, in order to determine its appx age?
Also, glad you got the bridge remains at Norman, OK. It saw those on Google Maps and thaought that was interesting.
Overall, good update wit lots of interesting stuff, keep up the good work.

The south side of the river is Goldsby. Norman does not extend into McClain County at all, though its zip code does.
(As the only person on the Internet that grew up in Goldsby I must defend its honor at any opportunity. :P)
Speaking of Oklahoma, it's time for another Non-Roads update. (Yeah, I'm really making time this summer.) Oklahoma and Arkansas get a boost, and Texas is all-new with 370 photos. More US 66 photos in TX-OK, Palo Duro Canyon (TX), and Texarkana (TX-AR) are most of the photos. Check it out!

This evening, enjoy California Roads (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/index.html#up) - over 1,500 photos of button copy, Route 66, button copy, old bridges, and did I mention button copy? Hope you like button copy! Part 1 today is the greater Los Angeles area all the way over to Arizona. Next to come, Part 2, San Diego. Comments, corrections, etc., always welcome.
Part 2 of California Roads (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/index.html#up), with 1,300 photos of San Diego and up the coast toward San Francisco. Even more button copy this time around. What can I say, I'm a slave to the almighty reflector. Comments, corrections, etc., always welcome.

I won't say no. I'm sorting 2 years' worth of photos right now, so it's a great time to submit anything.
Okay, I've sorted everything I've done so far, and I have 13 more roads updates to go. So, what do people want to see? (Same poll is on my FB page (http://www.facebook.com/alpsroads.net).)
(You can pick one or more numbers, or rank them. Please use the numbers - I'm not moving states around within these groups.)

Are there any pics of OLD 80 from the Boulevard/Jacumba area that you would like since I lve there? BTW, final regulatory approval nears for Jacumba to be renamed to Jacumba Hot Springs, in fact i just thought of a great old "Junction 94" sign near my farm

I don't have a whole lot of old 80 covered, so I'd accept the offer. But I don't know what I'd be looking for in Jacumba.

7, 8, 9, 13
After taking that whole roads poll, I still had a bunch of non-roads photos to finish up, and now you can see the results (http://www.alpsroads.net/www). Most of the photos are from California, and most of the rest are from way up high in the air. (If you can identify any mountains or canyons I flew over, I'd be happy to edit my pages accordingly.) Enjoy! Because after this, it's 13 straight roads updates.
Late to the party, but you know I'd like 12.
Just in time to ring out the old year, I've fulfilled the first request (based on total votes) for Quebec and Ontario. I have about 1,500 photos and exactly 5 videos (all in Quebec). This includes:
* Montreal (5/28/11) and Ottawa (8/25/12) meets
* So much freeway construction: ON Highway 417, QC A-5, A-30, A-35, A-50, QC 175
* Bridges covered and uncovered - Alexandra, Pakenham, Burlington Bay Skyway, Burlington Bay Lift Bridge in Ontario; covered bridges (on their own page with links to other pages), A-25 toll bridge, A-73 and QC 175 bridges in Quebec
* Finally, a visit up to Saguenay for a very special pyramid that you're sure to love.
http://www.alpsroads.net/roads - As always, comments, corrections, submissions, etc. are welcome and appreciated! Took me exactly 4 weeks for this update - if I can keep that kind of pace up, I'm through my current roads backlog by this time in 2013. Somehow, I doubt it.
First update of the new year, right on schedule for my "one update a month" plan. Highlights:
* Backyard railroad in Barnet - trust me, it's not just for railfans!
* A plethora of covered bridges in Vermont (with handy jumpoff page) and New Hampshire
* 11/12/11 Bennington Road Meet and VT 279 construction
* New photos from Israel
* New members of my sign collection
As always, comments, corrections, suggestions, submittals, etc. are always welcome. Coming next: the Midwest!

No idea, it was a submitted photo and I've never come across it. I did find a 1950's 11/12 pair on my NH 11 page.
is that 11/12 a 16 or 18 inch set? wow.
that looks to be one generation later than the 103/11. the 103 and 11 are wood and have a square blank, with squared off corners - while the black border has rounded corners.
upon closer inspection, that 4 seems to be the same style as the 11 and 12, not the 103 and 11.
Or it's not even a route shield at all.. :-D
Speaking of UPDATE!
1,500 more photos have made their debut in Kentucky, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, with supporting cast in Indiana, Michigan, and a bit of Illinois. Highlights include the Bridges of Minneapolis, 10/1/11 Wausau Road Meet and US 10 (WI) construction, Cedarburg Covered Bridge (last authentic one in WI), I-69 construction near Evansville, and all sorts of Kentucky and Illinois truss bridges. As always, comments, corrections, information, submissions, etc. are appreciated.

GA: Truman Parkway extension
DC: Key Bridge from a unique perspective
SC: I-26 button copy surprise
NC: Construction on I-485, I-295, I-73, I-840, Yadkin River bridges (I-85, US 29). Also proof that Charlotte City Route 4 is thoroughly signed, and a SPECIAL FEATURE: old signs at the State Transportation Museum!
http://www.alpsroads.net/roads Comments, corrections, submissions, etc. always welcome.
Note to self: visit North Carolina State Transportation Museum
The Massive Midwest Update is here! Basically everything's new in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Enjoy bridges, button copy, and the following highlights:
Former US 66: Tulsa to St. Louis through 3 states
Iowa: Bridges of Madison County... and Marion County... and Des Moines. A special shield on IA 92.
Kansas: Center of the USA on K-191, K-18 construction
Missouri: MO 364 construction, curious Pemiscot Co. shields on old US 61
Oklahoma: Picher ghost town
You know the drill - comments, corrections, questions, submissions, etc. welcome!

gotta be before 1973, as that is when Missouri abandoned shields which are smaller than 24"
any other old signs in this update?

That wasn't part of the update... old submitted sign. As for old signs that I actually found, there are a few like white guide signs, but nothing spectacular. Spectacular new signs, yes, those.

Picher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picher,_Oklahoma) is an interesting story, from an environmental point of view. As you know, it was a lead and zinc mining town. The cave-in risks were only a part of the abandonment; however, it is the mine tailings themselves that are the main reason for the abandonment. The town had extremely elevated lead levels in the soil and in the people living there due to the mine tailings. The final straw was the 2008 tornado that not only destroyed homes (that the Feds would not let be rebuilt) but also spread more dust from the toxic mine tailing piles. Currently, it is a superfund site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_Creek_Superfund_site).
Picher was founded by the Picher Lead Company which merged with the Eagle White Lead Company, forming Eagle-Picher. They've been the subject of quite a few superfund sites, including a smelter in nearby (to Picher) Joplin, Missouri, and as the defendant in a lot of asbestos litigation.
On the Missouri US 69 page, you state that the Fairfax/Platte Purchase Bridges "is not and never was part of US 169"
US 169 moved from the 7th Street to the Broadway extension in the early 90's, when the tolls were pulled from the Broadway Bridge. Also, the Broadway Extension reconstruction won't be "several years ago," until at least 2015.
K-131: K-131 actually predates I-35, and ran from US 50 (the "Welcome to Lebo"sign) to the south city limits.

So wait, why are there US 169 shields on I-635 and US 69? What did I misread?
K-131: So basically, nothing of current 131 matches former 131. Neat.

US 169 was moved from the Fairfax/Platte Purchase bridge to the Broadway bridge in 1995. The I-635 sign clearly predates 1995. As for the sign on the approach that you photographed, I'm thinking it's either a MoDOT goof or it was erected during the Broadway Extension closure in 2012.
My issue was with the statement that the Fairfax/Platte Purchase bridges "never was" designated 169 when, in fact, it
was US 169
Time for the next update. (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads) Connecticut, most of the existing NY pages, and a few more from VT 17. Next update will be the rest of NY including all the new pages. I'm excited overwhelmed... ^W
Anyway, here are some highlights - first NY:
* NY 17: Parksville Bypass construction (since completed)
* NY 25: A lot of Queensboro Bridge views
* NY 52: Stone Arch Bridge
* US 44: 19th-century wooden signpost
* Cross County Pkwy.: unbuilt extension
* I-495: Original Queens-Midtown Tunnel sign
CT:
* July 2011 New Haven meet (only 2 years late)
* Lovers' Leap Bridge
As always, comments, corrections, etc. welcomed!
Part 2 of the New York update has made it to www.alpsroads.net/roads. It's all sorts of new material, including some special highlights:
Abandoned Richmond Parkway/I-278 interchange
Brooklyn Bridge
Moodna Viaduct
Ancient NYC-area signs on Dyre Ave. and Lincoln Ave.
Features of the 9/10/11 Watertown Meet (only 2 years later)
NY 185 and the May 2012 Lake Champlain Bridge Celebration parade (do you like old cars?)
And much, much more! Comments, corrections, submissions, suggestions, etc. are always welcomed.

I think you left before that stop.
Found a Round Lake Bypass (http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/ny/roundlake) video sitting in the corner, pretending it was from Virginia. I'm going to pretend it was in the previous update, like nothing happened.
Tonight, just 1500 photos from Virginia and Pennsylvania, featuring the Marshalls Creek Bypass on US 209 and the October 13, 2012 Richmond Road Meet. The latter is important because it brings all sorts of Richmond-area goodies on roads like US 60, VA 161, VA 197, etc. I also have all sorts of Norfolk stuff from tooling around there, from I-x64s to VA 337 and Jordan Bridge construction. You know the drill - www.alpsroads.net/roads, send comments, corrections, questions, submittals, etc.

It's now Va. 286.
The big building under construction in your images at the Engineer Proving Grounds (now officially called Fort Belvoir North Area) is the main building of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), which has been occupied for several years now.

I'll have to figure out what I want to do with that page - for example, I kept I-279 intact after half became I-376. Damn DOTs can't keep their hands off...
EDIT: Okay, figured it out. VA 286 it is.
Over 120 days? Then I'm long overdue for an update!
http://www.alpsroads.net/roads
Today's features: 44 covered bridges of southeastern PA (Bucks, Chester, Lancaster Counties; Schofield Ford and Thomas Mill Bridges; PA 23, 152, 252, and 501; US 30 east of York, and US 322 east of Harrisburg). In Maryland, we have the old US 50 bridge in Annapolis, the December 2011 ICC meet (part 2), and 90 other new pages with old bridges and former alignments. (Check out former MD 442 and MD 856 if you like 10-foot concrete roads from the 1910s.)
As always, comments, corrections, suggestions, etc. are welcomed!
The 10ft concrete roads are awesome. Love old alignments like that. Keep up the good work, Steve. I've found a few of these east of Dallas.
It's interesting that there are a lot of one lane country roads in East Texas, but not so much in West Texas
It's been too long. Tonight, live from Central Jersey, I bring you... Illinois! My US 66 pages are now complete from LA to Chicago, and the Joliet meet is up. I also have hundreds of Chicago-area truss photos that the FBI doesn't want you to see... too bad! Other highlights:
* Brick US 66 on the IL 4 page
* Old sign graveyard on Business I-55 in Springfield
* MacArthur Bridge stubs in East St. Louis (I survived!)
* Rare state-name shields on I-294 and (an original one!) Division St., Chicago
Pib on over to http://www.alpsroads.net/roads to peep it out!
It's been even too longer, but I've finally pushed out a homebrewed update with some local construction:
* DE 1/I-95 interchange (both pages)
* US 1-9 Truck at US 1-9 (both pages)
* US 206 bypass in Somerset Co. (also see CR 514)
* US 322 bypass in Mullica Hill
And over a thousand other photos. Peep, weep, but do not DARE to ogle-beep without Tim's permission, at http://www.alpsroads.net/roads. Comments, corrections, submissions, etc. are always welcome.

Steve, I was just checking out your page on US 13 south of Philadelphia, and you claim your coverage of the Crum Creek Keystone made either Pennsylvania, Delaware County, or Woodlyn replace it.
http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/pa/us_13/s.html
If they did it because of you, that's great. I just wish that PennDOT or Philadelphia would replace the one in Angora back in 2013.

Steve, just a correction for the Illinois page and the Joliet Road Meet; it's Drauden Road (you have Drauden/Dryden).
The structure you took a photo of a Lake Renwick is part of a rookery. It was built to provide nesting areas in the middle of the lake (former quarry).
The signals at the Cass Street and Jefferson Street bridges are meant for when traffic is temporarily diverted for work on the other bridge. They have been one-way since the 1950s/1960s, and used to feature the STOP-type signals found in Chicago. The modern traffic-light ones were installed in the late 1980s.
The Arsenal Road interchange was rebuilt due to the massive intermodal yards nearby. These yards have substantially increased the volume of trucks at the interchange.

Hey Steve, just an FYI, I noticed there were some broken images on this page:

It also looks like the bottom image is incorrect, because unless I'm oblivious, there aren't any shields in that photo (which is the same as the one on the top of the page).

http://www.alpsroads.net/www
Non-Roads NY. Chock full of hundreds of photos from across the state and within the City, featuring the High Line.
My next non-roads update had a bridge in it, so I turned it into a BONUS roads update! It's the only one you're getting in 2015, so enjoy.
http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/in/14th
I totally forgot to post my last Non-Roads update here. Well, now I have another one tonight (oh well, snuck past midnight, so "this morning"), so you may as well just look at both of them. http://www.alpsroads.net/www
One more to go, and THEN AUSTRALIA! It's finally looming!
The last photos from the United States going up on my website for quite some time - certainly 2016 - are here on Non-Roads (http://www.alpsroads.net/www). The latest update is all things New England. Check it out.

Well over 1500 roads and North Island non-roads photos have been added, giving me a new country and finally restarting the website after years of life getting in the way.

Today is a very personal day for me, and not just because it's my birthday. My last regular website update was in August of 2016. I was in the middle of reconnecting with my ex, soon to become girlfriend again, then to become ex again. A lot was going on in my life. Before that, my last regular update was January of 2015, which is right before I'd met her the first time. It makes sense that I wasn't as active on the website when I was with her. But then we broke up as I moved into my new house. That was 2017. New Zealand Roads debuted in March of 2019 along with the first installment of Non-Roads. The second installment of Non-Roads was last month. There were a lot of negative emotions in that time, a lot of kicking myself and trying to get myself to work on my website, but my heart wasn't in it. With every month, every year, I felt my backlog grow as I got farther behind with my website. I would joke about photos I took in 2018 being ready for the website in 2025, but the truth was, I felt like it would never happen. I considered taking it down or just leaving it up in perpetuity and paying for it but never touching it again.
Today, I'm in a much better place. The first NZ upload helped, but only this year have I finally felt emotionally in the right place to get back into things. My hope is that as I progress into Australia, I can keep the updates on a more regular basis and rekindle the joy that this brings me. It's in there, but I have to be happy enough to find it. I would be thrilled with the birthday present of seeing the finality of my New Zealand pages in their painstaking glory:

If you read this whole thing, thank you, and I look forward to being a better Alps' Roads for you, my faithful viewers.

While we're all quarantined in front of our computers, let's check out some ROAD PHOTOS! Have a g'day, mates, and feast your eyes on over 2,000 photos (I counted - definitely largest update ever!) from all but one of Australia's states and mainland territories. (I'll get to WA.) I'm excited to get to Australia's Non-Roads next and keep the update train on the railway.

Speaking of that acronym .... did you ever upload those pics from our meetup in Oct 2016? When we got a tour of the viaduct.

UPDATE
First installment of Australia Non-Roads has been posted. Check out ACT, NT, and SA as I get to work on the remaining states one at a time. Hopefully this gives you a diversion for a little while as you "work from home."

That was when we had the Huntington/Ashland meet!
Speaking of backlogs, we're (meaning I'm) working nonstop to push out more (999-pixel wide) quality photos! After just one week, tonight's update is over 800 photos of Queensland Non-Roads (http://"https://www.alpsroads.net/www/qld"). Take a peep, and if you know your QLD mountains, feel free to offer up some corrections or additions. Enjoy your ride through the opposite end of the world at a time when everything in the world seems opposite. Next up, some NSW goodness, as the update train rolls on.
This is NOT an April Fool's joke. I have updated my site yet again! Feast on over 900 photos from New South Wales!

Looks like it. I see the NSW page now.
Speaking of "looks like it," I couldn't hit the midnight deadline, but I did get another state uploaded tonight. Every time it's more photos, isn't it! So take a trip through Victoria and spend at least 30% of your time in Melbourne, because that's the number of photos I have there plus how long it took me to sort through them and edit them. https://www.alpsroads.net/www/vic
With a mighty heave, I have completed all updates of The Land Down Under. You have no idea how difficult this was and how much it means to me to finally have uploaded all of the photos from this momentous 3-week trip. Come visit the non-roads of Tasmania and learn about its history and scenery. Then for a special treat, come check out my interview in 2 hours (18:00 Eastern, 17:00 Central, 15:00 Pacific, 8:00 Australian EST) on roadwaywiz's Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxsj08g_5T8).

I see you found that beat-up NH 1 trailblazer near B52. We spotted that as well. At least one white one lurks in Burnie.
Nú, chexw men wa ha7lh? Well you'll be doing even better when you check out my new Canadian update with 1,700 photos from a part of the country I sorely needed to grow in coverage. Check out Northwest Territories road signs! Find the totem pole! It's all at https://www.alpsroads.net/roads/ .

The second half of the Great Northwest Trip in 2013 has been posted, featuring mostly content on this side of the border in states I really needed better coverage in. Peep, weep, and ogle-beep at https://www.alpsroads.net/roads .
For the first time in years, I've added road meets as part of an update. That's so weird to think about. The latest update features the 2013 Ashland (Tri-State) and Pikeville (Corridor Q) meets as part of a KY/OH/WV package. Check it out: https://www.alpsroads.net/roads

I think those were both your meets. 2 in one year, similar area. It was interesting to relive that. Plus the infamous Tim Brown/Bunker Blast special that was Ashland.

Yep, they were mine, and I'm familiar with most all the routes you traveled to and from the meets. I didn't realize you'd gotten ill while at the Ashland meet. Same thing happened to you at Indiana a few years prior.

Looking at the VA US 52 page, I had down that US 221 was now in a concurrency with US 58 BUS (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.7493978,-80.7572558,3a,75y,63.91h,81.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sju4h5jhN8mSjlBy-QuHQUQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192). However, US 58 BUS for Hillsville is not in the 2019 Traffic Data for Carroll County (http://virginiadot.org/info/resources/Traffic_2019/AADT_017_Carroll_2019.pdf).

Odd. I can't remember if signage has been updated along old 58 in Hillsville, but as the Google Maps link you shared indicated, Business 58 is definitely signed as you approach downtown and the start of the new bypass from the west. I think it's also signed at the eastern end of the bypass, but I don't think I have any photos, having traveled through downtown to get clinches of both VA 100 and US 221 within Virginia.

I had meant that as in "not US 58 anymore," but worth a clarification.
One last update for June. Today I feature the 2012 Doylestown meet, PA 378 Hill to Hill Bridge, abandoned PA 402 Marshalls Creek bypass, a ton of old US 22 alignments, and some stuff not even in Pennsylvania. This is the last update for a little while as some personal matters get tended to, but stay tuned and I'll be back before long! As always, comments, suggestions, corrections, and general praise are welcomed.
https://www.alpsroads.net/roads
A lot going on in life, found a few hundred extra photos that I had to include, but here is another update! Tonight's highlights are the 2013 Lebanon, NH "TomTom Meet" and a lot of bridges: Brandywine Park in Delaware, Deer Isle on ME 15, Camelback on Michigan US 12, General Sullivan on NH 16, downtown Cleveland. Bip your beeper to https://www.alpsroads.net/roads and enjoy!
In the very topical theme of New York and Connecticut, here is an update from New York and Connecticut. Highlights include very many unique views of New York City's and State's very many bridges, some very special Connecticut Turnpike shields on the NY and CT I-95 pages, and the unofficial 2012 Rochester Mini-Meet that you never knew about. Comments, corrections, love, immunity always welcomed.
https://www.alpsroads.net/roads
Last roads update on the year takes all of my 2012-2013 input for New Jersey and squeezes it into a couple hundred pages. It's a doozy. The main features are yet another road meet (Brick/Wall), old US 9W in the Palisades, and ongoing construction at Parkway Exits 88-89 and Turnpike Interchange 8. You know where to go. (https://www.alpsroads.net/roads)
My first of 7 Non-Roads updates to close out the year takes me to western Canada and some new provinces on the site. https://www.alpsroads.net/www
Comments, corrections, socially distanced greetings always welcomed.
My second of 7 Non-Roads updates to close out the year takes me to western Canada and another new province on the site. Over 800 photos, featuring Highway 93 and a lot of fog, along with some cool Calgary fun: https://www.alpsroads.net/www/ab
Comments, corrections, socially distanced greetings always welcomed.
My third Non-Roads update is most things British Columbia - whatever wasn't in the first update. See the unfortunately foggy mountains of Highway 93 and the polite hills of Vancouver Island. You might even see a glimpse of a road now and then.
https://www.alpsroads.net/www/
Yada yada yada welcome.
Non-Roads #4/7 for 2020 takes us stateside to Washington, featuring the additions of Montana and Idaho to my site with other sundries. Most of the features are mountain scenery, but as my FB page (https://www.facebook.com/alpsroads.net) teased yesterday, there's a giraffe to be found and some interesting town/city architecture. You know the drill by now. https://www.alpsroads.net/www
More places Alps has been: Hill Annex Mine, US 2, and North Dakota. Come visit them with me: https://www.alpsroads.net/www. Comments something something love letters etc.
Alps has cats! And aerial photos of the West! And... both of Cleveland's buildings! Non-Roads (https://www.alpsroads.net/www) Installment 6 of 8 is officially up and running.
My 2 weeks of vacation ended up delaying my next update by nigh on 2 weeks, but here it is: Northern New England and Upstate New York scenery, along with some much needed NYC content. https://www.alpsroads.net/www
That's it. No more 2012-2013 photos in the queue. I can officially say that my backlog is less than 7 years old for the first time in over a year. Milestone achieved, and I'm gonna celebrate. Come join me:
https://www.alpsroads.net/www
Highlights: WV scenery, several sporting events in PA and NJ, old cars in Boonton, old houses in Finesville (and elsewhere), and one old castle on Ramapo Mountain.
Why not get a head start on the new year? I was so excited to share the Ridge Route with you, I just had to get going. My first of the 2014-era updates features old US 99 through California and the various roads nearby. My main site has the full info or you can click through all the pages linked from my California page: https://www.alpsroads.net/roads/ca
In this case, comments and corrections are VERY welcome, because I am touching on a historic corridor and I know there are experts out there with more to add. Please don't hesitate to write webmaster@!
My first update of the new year continues in California but focuses on Washington and old US 99. Other features include the 2014 Seattle Road Meet, abandoned WA 520 Arboretum Interchange, Alaskan Way construction, the Toontown tunnel (Griffith Park, CA), and a ton of ancient street signs and button copy from Los Angeles. Oh, and a new country. Bip your peeper thusly:
https://www.alpsroads.net/roads
Please add comments, corrections, and free cake. Mmm, cake.
There have been quite a few new threads started since my last update. I guess I should update again, then. Today I feature Oregon with over 1,000 photos centered on old US 99 and current US 101, along with a passel of bridges in Portland and beyond. I have also thoroughly revamped and upgraded content on the NJ Multiplex and 5xx Ends pages, something that's been in my queue for 15 years. So please do me the honor of viewing! Comments, questions, corrections, and particularly this time, submissions of multiplex and 5xx ends photo, all appreciated!
https://www.alpsroads.net/roads/
It's January 30, which means it's time for another update! No, seriously, I always update my website on 1/30/21. I have stuffed my California page chock full of US 101, old US 101, and CA 1, and you'll find assorted other goodies along the way. Click on through and let me know if you like it! (And if I got anything wrong. But I try. I really try.)
I think you can find the link to my page in this thread. But you should already have it bookmarked...
Does anybody read this? In record time, I've gotten another update out in less than a week! This is all things Bay Area, so a true treat for fans of button copy. I've also embarked on a small but exciting new project with NJ. Check out the details! (https://www.alpsroads.net/roads)
I private messaged you a few years ago about adding MA 108 explicitly. You said you weren't updating at the time, but you're updating now. I have the 8 photos on Flickr, and you can see them here (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=70.msg2569804#msg2569804) (although you'll want larger versions than the ones I put there). While we don't need MA 108 on both alpsroads and aaroads, would you consider adding a page for MA 108 if Alex either declines or defers to your site?

I am updating but I'm still not accepting submissions at this time. There's a good chance I'll have an MA 108 page from my own content soon enough.
Speaking of not accepting submissions, I am forcing you to accept my own submission of a long-overdue NEW UPDATE! Today, for your viewing ordeal, I offer 600 IL photos, 800 TN photos, updates to the NJ Route Log, and 100 MO photos featuring the most notorious meet of all time. You won't want to have missed it 7 years ago! You know the site, I just have to tell you to peep and weep.
TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS!
#1: Today is an UPDATE. Wabash Cannonball Bridge, ON Hwy. 401 construction (west end and 412), new segments of A-35 and A-410, US 42 across Ohio... don't miss all the good stuff! You know where to go.
#2: Before checking out the update - and you know I never say this - check out the roadwaywiz live drive season/series finale! I might pop in! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgtqculm6U4
Tonight's update features a bunch of Southern and Mid-Atlantic states. Highlights include a bunch of bridges from the 19th-20th centuries, the signs of Harry's Grill in Hendersonville, NC, and the C&O Canal Town Creek Aqueduct and Paw Paw Tunnel in Maryland. Click. On. Over.
https://www.alpsroads.net/roads
Exactly two weeks later on April 32nd, I present to you a slice of the Northeast: VT, MA, CT, and NY. Highlights include NY 17/I-81/I-86 construction, Northfield Tunnel, two! meets in New York, and a Merritt Parkway tollbooth. Click on through to the other side for details. (https://www.alpsroads.net/roads) As always, please send me comments, corrections, praise, etc.

I read the California stuff, but from the link on West Coast Roads.
First time on your site, and this was a great first impression :D (though correction, the signs say "Easton Way" for Exit 33 now, but still)...
QuoteBasically, an elaborate and expensive system was set up to prevent traffic from Exit 32 accessing either Exit 30 or Exit 33. Why? A bunch of rich people who like their "Easton" development and don't want the east side mucketymucks mucking it up (it's what they do best). Exit 33 is signed for Easton, which doesn't exist; what does exist is Easton Way and a shopping center. The Exit 33 overpass, which you can see on the corresponding counterclockwise page (see link at bottom), is also labeled "Easton." So incredibly pretentious of them
Also all the button copy photos for Ohio, a blast from the past.

You would be surprised how much I needed to read this reaction post. :) Interesting that they realized their error and corrected the signs.
Nah, I don't read anything you post. :)
Posted a little update tonight to my FB page. Feel free to follow:
https://www.facebook.com/alpsroads.net
An NJ update (20 photos in all) including CR 502, 507, 511, Bergen Co. was announced around 10 PM.
Followed by an NY update (similar volume) including NY 59, I-87 Thruway, Old NY 17, a random Exxon on US 9W, and most importantly, a NEW PAGE! for Rockland CR 97.
All posted to:
https://www.facebook.com/alpsroads.net (https://www.facebook.com/alpsroads.net)

Next time could you please update the changelog on your website itself? Because currently it's at 2021, and you had me worried when I came to revisit your site on a whim.

I'm doing little bit changes here, and probably going to take down the change log entirely.
In the meantime: Added 2 photos to each of the Morris Roads (https://www.alpsroads.net/roads/nj/morris) and Morris Non-Roads (https://www.alpsroads.net/www/nj/morris) pages from Main St. in Roxbury.
EDIT: And 26 subway tile photos to NYC Subway (https://www.alpsroads.net/www/ny/subway).
EDIT 2: And a few more NJ photos, featuring an old bridge on CR 527 in New Brunswick (https://www.alpsroads.net/roads/nj/cr_527/s.html) and an old bridge sign on US 202 in Oakland (https://www.alpsroads.net/roads/nj/us_202/1.html). And this:
