Importance ranking

Demoting to High importance to Antarctica, as subject is clearly currently not yet truly extant. Importance may change upon completion of construction. John Carter 21:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Past tense

I noticed everything shifted to past tense -- does that mean anything was done with fiber cable? Somehow I doubt it -- that would have been a project costing hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars requiring dozens of traverses by caravans of snow-cats and specialized cable-placing equipment. --A. B. ^(talk) 20:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP HWY or WP USRD

Since this road connects two American research bases, should it not be tagged with {{USRD}} instead of {{HWY}}? --Admrboltz (talk) 20:17, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't WP:ANTHWY have a banner? Seriously though, an interesting question. Under what state or type would this fall for USRD? –Fredddie ™ 20:26, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is {{User:ACBest/WikiProject Antartica Highways}}. :) If we retagged it to USRD, I'd leave it without a type or state, much like it isn't tagged for a HWY task force. Imzadi 1979 → 20:39, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

I reverted the assessment back to C-Class for now. There's still additional content that should be added to this article by integrating items from the Further reading section as full citations. As a second reason, we have uncited material in the body of the article, including one item with an explicit "^{[citation needed]}" tag present. This article has been on my to-do list for some time, and I will get back to it. Imzadi 1979 → 05:12, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Distance markers

Do the flags that mark the route have any distance markings, e.g. "Mileposts", so the drivers know the rate of progress and can give their location if they have distress? I suppose they might simply use GPS to plot the location, perhaps customized navigators that have the route coded into them. GBC (talk) 18:15, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
