Question
[edit]Do you know when I-59 was completed in Georgia? I can't seem to find any sources on Newspapers.com. Just wondering. If you have a source, just place it here. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 14:11, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- (Stalker comment): I'm pretty sure it was completed in 1968. This article mentions the northernmost eight miles, which I'm pretty sure was the last section. Bneu2013 (talk) 18:01, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Bneu2013 Okay, thanks for that. I wasn't even able to find it on the site itself for some reason. Maybe I wasn't looking properly. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:06, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- @NoobThreePointOh: - Scratch that. I just looked at Street View, and the bridges on the southern section are dated 1969 (I had thought I remembered them being dated 1966). So it was probably in 1970 or '71. Bneu2013 (talk) 18:11, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll have to search around more. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:12, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Bneu2013 All right, it seems from this clip that the construction on the last section of I-59 (or at least bids of it) were to open on May 29. Buuuut... I go to that date and can't find any papers dating to the opening of the final segment, which is really weird. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:33, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

- ... that Interstate 59 only has three exits in the U.S. state of Georgia?
- Reviewed:
- Comment: Even though the source shows a blank site, simply click the drop-down menu below and select "Interstate 59" from there. It should display the exits the Interstate has.

- Kind of dull as is, especially since the much shorter Louisiana segment also only has three exits. How about ...
- ALT1: ... that there are only three exits along the 33 miles (53 km) of Interstate 59 in Georgia? Daniel Case (talk) 21:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- You mean 33 km? Because there's only 20 miles (32 km) of I-59 in Georgia. I assume you might have made a typo there. I can definitely accept that, though. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 21:52, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
