US51-US20 Junction

I'd love to see some info on the ghost ramps at the bizarre US51-US20-I39 junction. It looks like US51 was supposed to go due north of that junction. Satellite images show a tiny amount of right-of-way, but development has taken over, and no road could probably be built through there anymore. Thanks!

:According to [http://www.n9jig.com/21-40.html this] it was to be a northern extension, a la I-74/U.S. 136 in Indy. —Rob (talk) 18:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

::A lot has changed in the last three years. When 39 and 51 split off from 20 there's just the two onramps now. Any traffic that wants to get into Rockford has to go west towards Alpine or east towards Harrison. The 39/51-90 intersection is even more interesting, the I39 rebuild in northern Illinois has really done a lot to ease traffic congestion, even though it isn't finished yet. -- Pilot 2023 (talk) 06:25, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

direction within article

Is there a reason for how the article is currently arranged? The Sections/States are arranged from south to north, but Louisiana, Mississippi and Illinois sections are written from north to south. TN, KY and Wisconsin are written south to north (KY & TN basically being lists of towns.) Since 3 of the 4 sections that have much are written north to south, would seem to make sense to rearange the sections, and rewrite Wisconsin to be n-s...--VikÞor | Talk 20:08, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
