Another comment: Can we use, perhaps, some clearer and less jargon-y language than "surface transportation infrastructure"? While I understand that the point is to make clear that there is no rail or pedestrian connection, I don't think most readers will pick up on that. It sounds too clever ("Why Don't We Do It In the Surface Transportation Infrastructure?"

Sorry for the late response. This is something I was on the fence about. I did indeed want to emphasize that there is no rail or pedestrian connection. If anyone knows of a better way to emphasize this, I'm all for it. I had also considered something like "Did you know that Interstate 155 crosses the Mississippi River on the Caruthersville Bridge, the only bridge connecting Missouri and Tennessee?"

A bit more casual but how about "that Interstate 155 is the only way to get directly from Missouri to Tennessee without a boat?" ITBF📢 14:39, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
Overall: Review as follows: article is new and lengthy enough, uses reliable sources from national and local newspaper as well as verifiable documents and reports, article is plagiarism free (as mentioned above, it is the external sources who copied Wikipedia), hook is cited and interesting, QPQ has been done. All good! Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 17:39, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
