• ... that the Gulf Coast Parkway, intended to supplement the storm surge-prone U.S. Route 98, was only built along roughly 2 miles (3.2 km) of its planned 36 (58 km)?

• Source: "would span about 36 miles and connect U.S. 98 with portions of U.S. 231...the 1.7-mile segment was the only portion of the regional Gulf Coast Parkway designed, funded for construction..."

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing:
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
• Other problems: - Not an impediment to DYK promotion, but the "Major intersections" section is empty and can be removed for now (especially if this only has two intersections).

Hook eligibility:

• Cited: - The source technically says "As of Wednesday, however, the 1.7-mile segment was the only portion of the regional Gulf Coast Parkway designed", which rounds up to about 2 miles, so I guess this is fine.
• Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Slightly Pedantic Unit Conversion Question

2 miles is 3.2 km but should 'about 3 miles' be converted to 'about 3.2 km' or should it be 'about 3 km'? The source says the road is 1.7 miles long which is definitely about 2 miles but is only 2.7 km which I would not say is about 3.2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flapjack06 (talk • contribs) 22:28, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

It uses {{convert}} - 2.7 is 0.5 from 3.2 so I would still say that's "about". - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:34, 11 September 2026 (UTC)
