For what's new at Roads Around ME, see its own What's New at RoadsAroundME.com page.

• 4 December 2009: While I get some more US 6 together for you, here's eight parts of US Highway 399 in a completely new exhibit; a beefed up annual update to US Highway 395 with new and revised sections in Olancha, CA, Douglas county, NV, Carson City, NV (TEMP US 395), Lassen county, CA and I-90 in eastern Washington, plus totally new sections along old US 395 through Connell, WA, Lind, WA and Springdale, WA; and even more Roadgap Redux with improved photographs for both CA 54 and Italian Highways. Plus link cleanup and general custodial changes. Watch for more US 6 soon!

• 7 March 2009: Even more Roadgap Redux: improved photography, updated writeups and new CA 118/CA 164 sections for the Mass Grave grab-bag collection of little dead routes; cleaned up photography and entries for CA 274 in San Diego, and finally! the first two Parts of the Summer of 6 with complete photography of US 6 through California to Tonopah, Nevada! Outstanding!

  Next: an overhaul for Roads Around ME, and more US 6 to Ely, NV!

• 19 January 2009: More Roadgap Redux -- new and revised photography for our Australian Highways exhibit and our Dead CA 252 (El Toyon Fwy) exhibit in San Diego, and a totally revamped three-part exhibit for The Crosstown Freeway (Old CA 30, Old CA 18/BR 18, CA 18, CA 259) with totally new photographs, more writeups and more maps and historical photos as future Interstate 210 takes over San Bernardino! You'll love it!

  Next: some more single-part exhibit updates and the release of the first section of the full US 6 exhibit! Awesome!

• 8 September 2008: The next exhibit in the Roadgap Redux is ready! I'm very proud to unveil the new expanded US 395 Three Flags Highway photoessay, featuring not only tons of new and regenerated photography through California including old alignments in Janesville and Doyle, the new Reno and Carson City freeways in Nevada, the old OR 37 and US 730 routing of US 395 in Oregon and Washington, and old US 10 and US 395 in eastern Washington, but also lots of historical photographs and maps, media screen grabs, an updated US 395 In Popular Culture section, and a new, completely rewritten, 18-part Old Highway 395 section for San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino!

  Next is the overhaul of the remaining small exhibits, including a completely redone Crosstown Fwy!

• 5 March 2008: Posted a quick addendum on the Crosstown Fwy exhibit. I'm still working on the new pictures -- which is now important as the route is now almost fully 210.

• 18 December 2007: The first exhibit in the big Roadgap Redux has been released -- a new and expanded US 95 Vegas to Blythe photoessay, with a greatly lengthened portion on the Interstate and old routings plus a Hoover Dam detour! Now in six parts! Please note that the base URL and components have changed ... update your bookmarks.

  Next is a new US 395 exhibit!

• 1 December 2007: Introducing RoadsAroundME.com, Roadgap's Maine highway history site! It's been nearly a year and a half in development, and there's still inaccuracies to be found, but I hope you'll enjoy it and find it a useful resource. The Bangor Loop photoessay is now part of RoadsAroundME.

  There is also a massive photographic refresh in the works. Stay tuned!

• 6 July 2007: Temporary CA 30, California's last temporary highway, has been SAVED! Thank you to Cheryl Donahue at SANBAG and Joe Nelson at the San Bernardino Sun!

• 4 April 2007: Custodial changes to some of the large exhibits in preparation for a larger rehabilitation of several photoessays this summer. Stay tuned!

• 27 January 2007: While working on a new "s3kr1t" project and revamping most of the exhibits with new photography, I discovered that Temporary CA 30 is now destroyed and the sign in danger. Please help me preserve this last Temporary route in the state of California.

• 2 June 2006: The Summer of 6 project goes up, including the first photographs "from the road" and the itinerary in a "road blog" format. Sign up now for the mailing list and RSS feed as we drive 3,205 miles across America to Cape Cod on US 6! Photographs and notes from the road posted regularly!

• 5 March 2006: The full, present-day 1,305 mile routing of US 395 is now online (California to Canada). Includes the original Old Highway 395 exhibit as a sidebar. Also added CA 65, US 99 and CA 163 (old) to the Mass Grave, and cleaned up various links and custodial tasks.

• 19 September 2005: Added the US 95 and US 1/1A exhibits to the grand tours section, along with archival maps and local scenery. Added a few snapshots of CA 195 to the Mass Grave. Updates to the conventions page. Revision of the 395 directory structure in anticipation of the full route (the former Old 395 exhibit is moved to the 395/old/ subdirectory, with a redirect in place, which is where it will be in the final full US 395 section). Custodial link and typo corrections. Also created this "what's new" page as a central repository.

• 28 May 2005: Open for business!
