Undoing My Edits

Fredddie,

What is meant by, "You can't plan a former highway"?

Also, I apologize about the bolding. I didn't realize that it was already in the lead.

There are two reasons I reverted. –Fredddie™ 04:42, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

1. The article hadn't yet established that the route was originally I-280 through Omaha. Yes, it's mentioned in the lead, but you still have to establish your facts in the main portion of the article. Rereading it again, the section needs some more work, and neither revision improved the article overall.
2. It just didn't make sense chronologically. Here's how the article read, "In Nebraska, plans for former Interstate 280 to bypass Omaha to the north to I-29 were drawn up in the late 1950s." When Nebraska DOR drew up plans for what's now I-680, it was going to be called I-280. They didn't know that it wasn't going to be I-280 for a few years, so it couldn't have possibly been former I-280 yet.

Is my computer screwed up

or are there a lot of convert errors in the route description? — PCB 01:19, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

It may be screwed up, but there were a lot of convert errors. It used Template:Tlx, which seems to have recently switched to requiring the second unit. It didn't require it before. –Fredddie™ 22:35, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Interstate 680 (Iowa–Nebraska) → Template:No redirect – Westernmost state needs to be listed first, per WP:IH. Greggens (talk) 20:39, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

I wholeheartedly agree that this page should be moved, but a redirect should still exist at the old name. This proposal should be listed on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads. Charlotte Allison (Morriswa) (talk) 02:26, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

• Support. This is a non-controversial application of a non-controversial WikiProject guideline (WP:IH § Naming conventions: "If the Interstate enters more than two states, then list all states in the name, beginning with the western/southernmost state. "). —  AjaxSmack  13:11, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Interstate 880

So far, I have not seen anything in the news about the former I-80N in Iowa being changed from I-680 to I-880. I know that AASHTO is on record as having approved such a change, but until there are news reports on the numbering change, and signs have been erected to reflect it, we should assume that the change is not yet in effect. When it does go into effect, the necessary changes can be restored. Greggens (talk) 19:42, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
