This exit list contains both the new and old sequential exit numbers after MassDOT converted I-93 to the Geographic Reference or Milepost Exit Numbering system  in May 2021. MassDOT started to convert exit numbers in October 2020 first to routes in eastern and southern parts of the state. This project was first planned for 2016, but eventually postponed.

*Numbers in ( ) listed for the postponed 2016 Renumbering Project.

**MassDOT uses the same number, 18 for both Storrow Drive exits, despite the I-93 South exit being north of the Mile 20 marker. In a response to a comment I sent MassDOT about this, I received this answer:

"For ease of navigation and for consistency in directing people to businesses, exits in different directions that serve the same route, street, or area of a city or town, are being given the same exit number even when they are physically located at different locations along the highway.  As the signs on I-93 south for the Sullivan Square and Leverett Connector/Storrow Drive exits overlap, this “out of order” numbering should not create undue confusion for drivers."

This was the explanation for the de-emphasis on the use of lettered exits in the 2019 proposed numbers vs. that of the postponed 2016 project:

"To minimize possible driver confusion, the proposed exit numbering on all highways under this project will use the A/B/C scheme only to denote exits that either serve both directions of a route or street from separate ramps on the highway (such as I-95(128) at I-93 in Woburn); to denote multiple exits accessed by a collector-distributor road off the highway (such as the northbound exit from I-95 to I-90 and Route 30, and the southbound exit from I-95 to Highland Avenue and Kendrick Street); or to denote separate exits that are so closely spaced apart that assigning separate numbers is impractical (such as Southampton Street and Frontage Road on I-93 northbound in Boston)."

***Change from original exit number list posted on MassDOT Exit Renumbering project website in May 2020 document on second contract bid page.
