Yes, I've updated again!

They're small updates but I've been able to add some new website material this week. And considering the last time I updated was in January, updates twice in a month is an earth shattering event.

Pennsylvania:

Two more Keystones added to the PA Keystone Town Marker project. Ron Stafford sent in shots of Dixonville and Rossiter in Indiana County

West Virginia:

New Corridor H information (pretty much from items discussed here on the blog)
New information and a photo from Jennings Starcher on former WV Route 56.

US 60 and US 70 were not part of the original run of US Routes in California. According to USends.com US 60 was extended into California by 1932.

Paper Highways; Interstate H-4 through downtown Honolulu

The proposed corridor of Interstate H-4 can be seen above as it was presented by the Hawaii Department of Transportation during October 1968 .
