"by locals.[3]" why only one sentence in the lead cited? Should be in the main body too (and expanded upon if possible) so cite it there.
You usually say how long it is in the lead.
"was decommissioned in 1996.[citation needed]" speaks for itself...
"The route of Highway 38 in 1997 began" why in 1997?
"the Trans-Canada Trail, an" our article doesn't hyphenate this.
However, "an all season hiking" all-season here needs to be hyphenated.
"travels through Hartington" link Hartington first time.
"route meandering around" meanders.
"an all girls overnight " I would hyphenate all girls here as it's being used as an adjective.
"assumed the 76.0 km" sorry, what do you mean?
"Following World War 2" II
"the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario.[21] " overlinked.
Ref 1 & 2 & 5 & 13 & 28 spaced hyphen should be en-dash.
Frontenac News should be a work.
C.P. Robins -> C. P. Robins.
Ref 17, ELLIPSIS needs a non-breaking space before it in this use.
Kingston Whig is a newspaper too.
Second external link needs an en-dash.

That's it, on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:01, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fixes made, except the overlink to the MTO above the intersection list. As for why 1997, that was the last year it existed as a provincial highway. This has been one of those things where I'm not sure how to best describe the route: from a contemporary standpoint or from a present standpoint? Also, I'm very surprised we don't have an article for route assumption. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 01:52, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, it's certainly good enough for GA so I'm happy to promote. I'll see if I can find another of yours to do! Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:35, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I very much appreciate it, doubly so your repeated reviews of my submissions; I know that I'm getting thorough inspections from you! Hopefully the next one has less of my perennial issues. :) -- Floydian ^τ _¢ 04:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
