Comment: The draft is still mostly WP:Original research, with no indication of the road's notability per WP:GEOROAD. No additional references have been added since the last submission, though some of the unsourced content has been removed. At the moment, there's only a regional transit map verifying that the road exists. Please add WP:Reliable sources to the article before resubmitting, thanks.
