NE: S57A extends a bit further east

[the_spui_ninja]

Went through central NE today, and S57A extends all the way through Gandy to the end of bottom curve at the Y-intersection (point "145Ave"? That's what the signage says on the ground.).

Is this sign no longer there?

I don't remember seeing it, and the reassurance shield going west at 145 Ave still is.

I'll hold off on making any changes until there's confirmation the End State Maint sign is gone.
Signage is a big part of, but not the whole, picture. Maps and the 2020 Log Book are unanimous on the end at the W limits; I'm inclined to treat the shield at the E limits as a missing TO. I can see travelers making it as far as the End Maint sign, saying "OK, I'm done here", and turning around.

Fair enough; I was surprised that there wasn't one of those end state maintenance signs where the road turned gravel (where that WB shield was). In all honesty, the sign at the west edge of Gandy probably got shot to bits in the nine years between 2012 and now and NDOT just doesn't care enough to replace it (either that or I was completely blind driving in). The lack of pavement change at the west end was probably NDOT doing Gandy a favor, and the contractor probably just stuck an S57A shield at the east end of town due to a miscommunication.

Half of that is speculation, but it's all I've got to go on.

Sign still there as of Sept '23 GSV.

Looks like the WB reassurance shield is too (think that's what that sign is we can only see the back of), so it's still confusing.

There was a logbook I remember looking at for S27E which might help, but I can't find the link anymore.

Found the logbook: https://dot.nebraska.gov/media/kh0nfinz/logbook.pdf

According to this, the end is at the western "city" limits of Gandy, which lines up with the HB and "End State Maintenance" sign. I withdraw my initial request to extend the route.
