Struck US 431 as it's already completed and has been addressed in TM.

[yakra]

Struck the AR US79 entries as they're already completed & addressed in ...CHM.
This continues a pattern of AHTD submitting belated applications for route changes that have been in place for quite some time.

My ToDo list:
TX I-14 Establishment <--Thpft! Disapproved
TX US83 Relocation (La Joya-Piñetas) <--Disapproved.
TX US83Bus extension (La Joya-Piñetas) <--Disapproved.
TX US287Bus Relocation (Mansfield) <--What? Yeah OK whatever. Yecch!
AR I-555 Extension

[mapmikey]

The US 70 and US 501 re-locations will require adjustments to those files and to NC 49 and NC 101 as well.  However, neither of these construction projects is actually finished yet.

The US 158 project involves no construction so I will wait until somebody can confirm NC has signed this change, which will affect several routes (US 29, US 29 Bus, NC 14, NC 65, NC 87).

For the Fut36 and Fut89 I will wait until AASHTO has actually approved those before doing anything

[yakra]

The relevant changes approved are:
...
Texas US83Bus extension (La Joya-Piñetas)
...
Texas I-14 and US83/83Bus (La Joya-Piñetas) were rejected.

From my reading of things, all parts of the US83/83Bus application were rejected. Assuming you left the first line quoted accidentally.

Kinda weird. TXDOT's application made (im)perfect sense to me. Did the committee not realize the new US83Bus ties into existing US83Bus? Looks like no TXDOT reps were in attendance...

I've been told that US 6 should be rerouted and IA 192 decommissioned by or on July 1. Coincidentally, that is now about the time that US 71 will be rerouted in Sac County (delayed three times) so I should be able to send all of those together.

[rickmastfan67]

Florida US441 Relocation (Lake City)

Ugh, they should have just rerouted it to fully stay on US-41 there instead of leaving US-41 to just rejoin it again south of town.

Either way, should be straight forward to update once I know when the reroute happens.  Just don't know if they will either eliminate or update the signage for US-441 Truck (Lake City).

[si404]

Future I-42 signs have appeared on the Clayton bypass and at Cove City, and posts for them were put in the Goldsboro bypass when they built the eastern bit.

Posts for Future I-87 signs have appeared east of I-95, but no signs yet. I don't know whether they will replace I-495 signs

[michih]

Is the outlook board still the right place for this?

Are all issues addressed or is anything still open?

[oscar]

I think US 18 Temp in the Waukesha WI area was never addressed here. But I suspect it has been de-designated or de-signed, now that the permanent Waukesha US 18 bypass (which is in the HB) has opened.

[rickmastfan67]

Florida US441 Relocation (Lake City)

This one is now done since FDOT finally got around to changing the shields.

[Markkos1992]

North Carolina US70 Relocation (Beaufort)

I know this one was done.  mapmikey would have to clarify on US 158 and US 501 though I think they were done as well.

[Markkos1992]

US 6 in IA, US 158 in NC, US 501 in NC, I-269 in TN, US 287 BUS (Fort Worth, TX), US 33 in WV, and US 18 in WI have been done.

I-555 in AR has not been completed.  I am unable to clarify on US 60 BUS (Rogersville, MO), but the signage seems iffy based on GSV imagery there.  The new routing definitely cannot be truly verified based on GSV.

This seems pretty clear. Also this.
