New England Exit Renumbering Central

Exit Renumbering Projects in New England (Updated 7/23/25)

Massachusetts announced on November 18, 2019 that it would start converting its exits to a milepost-based system in the late summer of 2020, later moved to the fall.  A project that was to have started in 2016 but was postponed. Work started on October 18, 2020 and was finished when the last two routes to be renumbered, I-395 and I-290, were completed on August 20, 2021. Meanwhile, progress in other New England states has varied. Rhode Island completed the renumbering of all its highways, with the completion of I-95, in early November 2022. Connecticut has a plan to slowly convert by 2028, renumbering exits only during sign replacement projects. In northern New England, Maine converted way back in 2004. Vermont has gone partially milepost based, with the establishment of 'Milepoint' signs on its exits, a full conversion probably won't happen until the 2030s. New Hampshire will probably not see any change in exit numbers as long as its current governor holds office. This site aims to summarize information, by state, of progress made, or planned in exit renumbering. Links to Connecticut Routes:

In Connecticut the move to milepost based exits has been gradual, taking more than a decade. Exit numbers have be changed, for the most part, only after new exit signs were up along an entire stretch of roadway (with recent exceptions, see below). So far, as of July 2025, projects related to I-291, I-395, I-384, I-691, US 6, CT 2, 2A, 9, 17, 25, 66 and 72 have have been completed, I-291 being the last with the exit numbers changed on March 30, 2025, before the signs were updated. More typical have been projects advertised earlier, such as for CT 9. The first sign replacement project was advertised on August 7, 2019 to update signs north of Middletown, but since signs along the rest of CT 9 still had yet to be replaced, that route's exit numbers did not change during that project. Number changes would have to wait for the second CT 9 contract from Middletown to Old Saybrook which was advertised on August 12, 2020 (see below). Work on upgrading signage and exit renumbering started on CT 9 (as well as CT 72) late in 2020 but the project was not completed until early 2023. Here's the latest news article about the state's plans published on May 21, 2023. I-291 and CT 15 are the latest major routes scheduled to have their exits renumbered by the end of 2025. The project to renumber the exits on I-84 is to be advertised in January 2026, while the work on I-91 is to be advertised 4 months later on May 22, but probably will not be completed until 2027. I-95 is to be the last route in the exit renumbering project, work now to start in 2028. 

Latest Exit Renumbering News (Updated 7/23/25)

CTDOT on March 17, 2025 announced exit renumbering on I-291 will start on March 30. Almost all the exits were renumbered that night, except for the I-84 exit eastbound (see photos below). Meanwhile, exit renumbering on CT 2 between Hartford and Norwich, along with any remaining exit changes of CT 3, 11 and 17, that started on around January 7, 2025, was completed. The CTDOT Exit Renumbering FAQ indicating exit renumbering on CT 15 will take place later in 2025, see details below.

On May 8, 2024 CTDOT advertised the Fall 2024 sign replacement project on the Wilbur Cross Parkway, CT 15. Exit renumbering would be a part of this project on that highway and also along the Merritt Parkway to the New York state line. The release included sign plans and a revised list of proposed new milepost exit numbers in the north and southbound directions. Some of the most interesting information from the list is that the last exit southbound, whose two ramps are split between CT and NY and have had different numbers, will now have a NY based number, 19B. The numbers for the former US 7/Main Avenue exits in Norwalk that are currently 40 A/B in both directions are proposed to be 17B and C heading north but 17A and B going south. The CT 25 exit is proposed to be 32 heading north but 32A southbound. The CT 8 exit will be 34. The last Merritt exit, for the To I-95/Milford Parkway will be 37. On the Wilbur Cross, the CT 10 exit is proposed to be 50, US 5 Exit 61 and I-91 64A headed north but Exits 64B/65 headed south. The exits that currently have numbers north of the Berlin Turnpike were not on the list. Check out the full list of original new exit numbers in the Press Release. Though work started on September 9, 2024 exit renumbering was not planned until later in 2025. A New Haven Register news article from July 3 indicated it may happen by the beginning of August, weather permitting. During the week of July 21, several news articles were published indicating exit renumbering would start on July 28 at the NY border and move east, with the work to be completed in 4 to 5 weeks.

Back in June 2022, CTDOT launched a webpage on its traffic engineering site for Exit Renumbering. The site contains a map showing the new exit numbers for projects underway, or soon to be underway at that time: CT 8, CT 9, CT 17, CT 72 and CT 571. The page also has a link to a FAQ document which lists a new completion year schedule for exit renumbering, this one including CT 15. The site was updated in March 2023 to include new exit numbers for CT 25. The latest version was updated in December 2024, several of the projects have been moved up, most notably I-84 by 2 years and I-95 by 1, however the dates, despite being listed as for completion, are more likely for the start of construction:

- CT-9: Completed 2023 [Renumbering was complete as of 8/31/23]

- I-691: Completed 2023 [Exit renumbering was completed on April 24, 2023. The list of new exit numbers is available above. Unlike the other contracts, signs still needed to be replaced. Most of the signs had been placed by late October. See photos above and Jay Hogan's Flickr page for latest sign images. Renumbering of exit numbers for CT 66 portion east of I-91 was also completed as part of this work.]

- CT-2: Completed 2025. [Work to renumber exits started on January 7, 2025 and was completed in early February.

- CT-8: Completed 2024. [Exit renumbering began on September 8 and concluded by the end of the month, except for exit tabs for new numbered exits for I-95 (SB) and CT 25 (northbound). The project also included exit renumbering on CT 25, which was completed around the same time, see photos below.]

- I-291: Completed 2025. (Except for I-84 exit -- State Project 0171-0481) [Contract advertised 12/20/23. New numbers are CT 218 Exit 1B, I-91 Exits 1 A/C, CT 159-Exit 1D, US 5-Exit 2, Tolland Parkway-Exit 5C, I-84 Exits 5 A/B. Work completed on March 30, 2025 [See Sign plans below]

- CT 15: (Currently in Construction -- State Project 0083-0271) While CTDOT announced in March 2024 that the exit renumbering portion of the project will either start in December 2024 or January 2025 and take 2 weeks to complete, a newspaper article published just prior to the start of the project in September 2024 indicated work would not be completed until July 2026, the late 2024 date may have only been for exit renumbering of the existing signs. The CTDOT FAQ page was revised in December 2024 to indicate the project would be completed in 2025, and work is now planned to start on July 28.]

- CT 25: Completed. [Exit renumbering took place as part of the CT 8 exit renumbering, starting on September 8, 2024 and ending 2 weeks later.]

- I-384: Completed. Work started on September 22, 2024 (Contract advertised 8/23/23) CTDOT announced on September 6, 2024 that sign replacement on I-384 and US 6 would begin on September 22. Work would include exit renumbering. The project scheduled completion date is October 6, 2025. However, exit renumbering was mostly completed in October 2024 prior to any sign work, see photos below. US 6 would receive milepost exit numbers (89 for the CT 32 exit and 91 for the CT 195 exit) as part of the contract. These signs had not been placed as of June 2025.

- I-84: 2026 [Project to be advertised in January 2026]

- I-91: 2027 [Project to be advertised in May 2026]

- I-95: 2028

The FAQ site also goes into details on how the new numbers will be determined:

Exit numbers will be determined based on the mileage contained in the CTDOT Linear Referencing System. Mileage typically runs from south to north and west to east.
- No Exit 0
- Mileage 0.00 – 1.49 = Exit 1
- Mileage 1.50 – 2.99 = Exit 2
- Mileage 3.00 – 3.99 and beyond.
+ Round down to the nearest whole mile
- In some cases, the CTDOT may round up or down to the next nearest whole mile to reduce
suffix letters or utilize the existing exit number.
- Splits on off-ramps will not be designated as separate numbers/suffix letters.

CURRENT EXIT RENUMBERING PROJECTS

In May 2024 CTDOT released plans for the sign replacement project on CT 15 along the Wilbur Cross Parkway. The sign plans had new milepost based numbers. The plans also include exit renumbering of the Merritt Parkway, but the only plans were for the general set up of the new exit numbers and the old exit number signs.  For the Merritt, the old exit numbers will be listed on green signs matching the style of the exit signs, as shown in these plans for ground mounted and overhead signage:

For the Wilbur Cross, the Old Exit signs will be yellow, matching those put up on other routes in the state (signs are from I-384):

The plans also included a Feb. 23 revised list of new exit numbers. Checking this against the original list from last fall though, it doesn't appear any of the exit numbers were changed:

The project is to start on September 9, 2024. Work is to be completed by July 2026. It is not known whether the exit renumbering will wait until all the signs are replaced on the Wilbur Cross Parkway, or whether exits will be renumbered at least on the Merritt Parkway before  then. Here are examples of the sign plans for the Wilbur Cross Parkway segment of CT 15, heading north. New exit numbers run from 37 for the To I-95/US 1 Milford Parkway to Exit 62 for the CTDOT Maintenance facility in Meriden (apparently the signs at the end of the parkway for the I-91/CT 15 exits (64 A/B) are not being replaced, but receiving only new exit number overlays):

In February 2024 CTDOT advertised the upcoming sign replacement project for I-291 north of Hartford. This will involve renumbering the exits as well.

Here are some of the sign plans for I-291, showing new exit numbers, going from west to east along the 5 mile route:

On August 21, 2020 CTDOT issued a press release regarding its next round of sign replacements and exit renumbering that would start in 2022 involving CT 2, CT 3, CT 11 and CT 17. The new exit number lists provided in the press release indicated that CT 11 would be renumbered based on completion of that highway to I-95, a project that has been proposed and fought for years, with no sign of eventual construction. In August 2021 ConnDOT posted an advertisement for a contract let on September 8 and released files which contained sign plans showing the new numbers, sign plans posted for each route below any photos. Work began on the project in 2021 with new signs seen on all the routes by 2023. The new signs will have their future exit numbers covered up until all signs are put up for that route.

New exit numbers still hidden throughout 2024. CT announced in January 2025 that would take place over the next month to unveil the new exit numbers on CT 2 and CT 11 and complete the exit number installation on CT 3 and 17. 

For the latest new exit number photos, check out The CT 2 Photo Gallery

New signs were reported placed northbound along this route in 2022 with the new exit numbers (the original signs had no numbers) covered over on the new sign's exit tabs. The new numbers were later revealed during the summer of 2024 along CT 3 North. The southbound signs in Wethersfield were not replaced until November 2024. Here are a few photos taken on CT 3 North on October 12 and CT 3 South on November 8, 2024 by Jay Hogan. The full set can be found on his CT 3 Flickr Gallery:

SIGN PLANS [For all placed as of November 2024.]

New signs appeared in the spring of 2023, according to a poster to the AARoads Forum on May 12, 2023. The new signs though had the future exit numbers covered up. The new numbers were not uncovered until January 2025. Here are some photos taken by Jay Hogan on January 19 and 26:

SIGN PLANS

  

As with CT 3 and CT 11, new signs with covered up exit tabs were placed along the short expressway portion of the route south of CT in 2023. Signs on CT 17 South in Glastonbury have since had their numbers uncovered, photos by Jay Hogan, October 20, 2024:

The Glastonbury Center exit is now Exit 35. The New London Turnpike exit has no number, though was supposed to be Exit 36, see sign plans below.

The overhead signs at the Glastonbury Center exit, the Hubbard Street exit now Exit 34.

Here are some earlier images from December 2023 on CT 17 North taken from screen grabs from Google Maps Street View. A video taken in late September 2024 showed that the exit tabs in this direction were still covered over:

As mentioned with CT 3 above, the new exit number gore signs here are not covered up, here heading north in Glastonbury.

The new exit number is covered up on the sign heading south.

However, like northbound the new exit number is not covered up on the gore sign.

UPDATE 10/15/24 CTDOT issued a press release indicating the renumbering of all exits on CT 8 and CT 25 would start on Sunday night, September 8. The work would take 2 weeks to complete. As of September 30, however, no announcement has been made that work has concluded. A post in AARoads Forum on October 11 indicated all the exit numbers had been changed, only the tabs for exits previously unnumbered, I-95 southbound and CT 25 northbound, had not been completed. In 2021 CTDOT issued a press released indicating work on the remaining sign replacements along CT 8 and exit renumbering will occur at the end of 2022. The release also had a list of tentative exit numbers, which included Exit 3 NB for the CT 25 split in New Haven, Exit 6 for the Merritt Parkway SB and 30A and B for the I-84 Mixmaster interchange. The sign plans were made available when the contract was advertised on July 20, 2022 with the project to start on November 2022. Work was to take 2 years with the exit renumbering, presumably taking place after the remaining sign updates. In June 2024 CTDOT issued a press release that exit renumbering would start on July 8 as part of the final sign replacement contract for CT 8 from Ansonia to Winchester. However, there has been no progress as of August 2024, at least from Waterbury northward. The 2022 plans did not have, as was expected, additional exit renumbering plans for CT 25 (see below).

Photos of the new exit numbers can be found HERE and on the CT 8 Flickr Gallery of Jay Hogan.

Here's a sampling of some of the plans, heading north from I-95, which, unlike at present, will have exit numbers:

   

The plan for the northbound CT 25 exit also includes an exit number, 3, currently there is none. This led to speculation that CT 25 was to be truncated to this exit instead of its currently running concurrently with CT 8 to I-95. This turned out not to be true based on the publishing in April 2023 of the future exit numbers for CT 25 (see below). Heading further north to Waterbury...

  

 

Entering Waterbury and the I-84 "Mixmaster" interchange under construction, here's what CTDOT plans heading north:

The I-84 ramps are split up between the Downtown Waterbury exit. Here's the plan for CT 8 South:

Apparently CTDOT thinks the interchange numbering will be confusing to some, so they are adding this explanatory sign in both direction, this one headed south.

Waterbury and Beyond

    

Exits 38 to 40 will not be changing exit numbers, the remaining exit numbers will be higher than the current ones.

        

The last exit is to have its blank exit tab removed, and US 44 will be used on the blue services signs instead of an exit number.

As mentioned above, the CT 8 sign plans did not include any for CT 25. The state's Exit Renumbering Project website though did include new exit numbers for the route with the added information that work was to be completed the same year as CT 8. It therefore appeared that exit renumbering would be done in coordination with the CT 8 work. CTDOT's press release of September 5, 2024 confirmed that suspicion. Work was to start along CT 8 on September 9 and work was completed by the end of the month. Here are a sample of the new exit number signs along both CT 25 North and South taken by Jay Hogan on October 12, 2024. The complete set can be found on his CT 25 Flickr Gallery.

On September 20, 2023 CTDOT posted sign plans for the upcoming sign replacement project for I-384 and US 6 in Willimantic. This will also involve renumbering the exits. Work to renumber the exits apparently started before new signs were placed.

This sign actually precedes the start of I-384 West.

Here are plans for the new signs on the US 6 Willimantic Bypass that will receive new milepost based exit numbers:

     

CTDOT indicates the sign replacement of I-384 and US 6 will not be complete until October 2025.

Exits on I-691 was quickly renumbered the weekend of April 21-23, 2023. Unlike other projects exit numbers were changed prior to most of the signage being replaced. New signs started showing up during the summer.

Photos taken of the new exit signs were replaced driving westbound on October 20:

New overhead signs for the first 3 exits, now Exits 1 A-C at the start of I-691 West in Meriden.

New overhead signs approaching the I-91 exit ramp, the only reference to the old exit numbers are on the gore signs.

New overhead signs for US 5 and CT 15 South at CT 15 exit ramp, notice the exit sign in the distance has not been replaced. Rain drops seen in the photo became heavier preventing taking pictures of the next few new signs.

[Completed 2023]

The contract to replace the remaining signs on CT 9 was advertised on August 12, 2020. This contract includes exit renumbering along the entire length of CT 9 (along with new signs on parts of CT 17 and a new number for the CT 17 exit at CT 9, and CT 82). The contract was let in November with work starting on December 7, 2020, the majority of the work stated to take place in 2021, however work was slow. While new signs started to go up as of May 2021 exit signs with new numbers did not show up until December. On December 7, 2020 a news article stated the sign replacement work with exit renumbering was beginning that day on CT 9, along with CT 17 and CT 82. The new exit number lists in the article had some changes from the numbers in the original plans seen below. In the new list both I-95 and I-84 received exit numbers. The CT 9 South signs for the I-95 exits will be numbered 1A and 1B with the CT 154 South exit now to be renumbered 1C. The I-84 exits now numbered 31 and 32 will be renumbered 40A and 40B. The exit number for CT 175/Ella Grasso Blvd. was changed from 37 to 38. Work on the contract was supposed to be completed by 2022, however work stalled for several months on the contract replacing signs on southern end of the roadway, that needed to be completed before the start of exit renumbering. As of early April only a few ground mounted signs with old and new exit numbers had appeared between Middletown and I-84, most of the signs were up by August, however the new exit numbers remained covered up through the end of the year.¹

CTDOT finally announced on January 18, 2023 that the renumbering of the exits would start the night of January 22. Two work crews would change exit numbers along the route. This required putting new numbers on some old signs that have not been replaced, but south of Middletown this mainly involved removing the tape covering up the new numbers on the signs installed in 2022 (in photos below). Most of the signage had been changed by April.

Here are photos taken of new signs and exit numbers on CT 9 North between CT 17 and CT 72, taken on August 16, 2024:

Here are some of the plans for CT 9 exits I did not get photos of. For the first contract only the exit number tabs will be replaced with the new numbers on new signs already installed:

 

According to the original plans, the I-84 exits would also not have received an exit number.

Examples of old and new exit number signs at the I-91 interchange, April 2022

Exit numbers on signs themselves have not started but several ground mounted signs with old and new numbers have appeared at the northern end of CT 9. Note the current number is the same but the future I-91 ramps will have two different numbers.

The same numbers, with the addition of an Old Exit 20S sign for I-91 South, in front of new overhead signs, notice the squeezing of the sequential number onto the sign for I-91 North.  

The gore sign for the I-91 exit already has the new number up, even though it doesn't appear on any of the overhead signs.

MASSACHUSETTS - COMPLETED (Updated 6/30/25)

MassDOT let 3 contracts for Exit Renumbering in July and August 2020. The contracts were for Districts 1-3 (610646) along with I-495 and MA 2, therefore most of western and central Mass., Districts 4-6 (610699), the rest of the routes in eastern and southeastern sections, and a separate one for the Massachusetts Turnpike (610700). The winning bids were announced June 23 (second), July 7 (first), and July 21 (third). MassDOT announced on September 10, 2020 that the project would start on the second contract routes in mid-October after a virtual public meeting on September 24. The first highway to be renumbered was MA Route 140 starting on October 18, then I-195 on October 25 and then, after a two-week hiatus, MA Route 25 on November 24, then MA 3 on the morning of December 14, with US 6 on the Cape to start the evening of December 14 (see photos below). Work to renumber exits on I-295 took place on January 4-5, while the next night work started on MA 24. When that work was completed on January 19, contractors moved on to US 3, MA Route 128 was renumbered next starting on February 11, I-95 started the week of February 25 and was planned to take 10 weeks, work was completed early, on April 22. The last route under the contract, I-93, started on May 2. Work was completed on the night of May 20. MassDOT announced a second public meeting to discuss the first and Mass Pike contracts on December 1 where they stated work on the third (Mass Pike) contract would begin on December 13. The work started at Weston and moved westward to the NY border before turning around eastward. Work was completed back to the Allston-Brighton-Cambridge exit and for the I-93 exit as of January 9. Work also was completed heading west back to I-95 in Weston. Work remained to renumber the Prudential Center, South Boston and Logan Airport exits eastbound which was completed the week of January 10. Interestingly, when the new 1/2 mile advance sign on I-90 East for the US 20 exit was put up in the spring of 2021, it had the old number 2, this has not been changed as of June 2022 (see photo below). Work on the first contract started last, after the work on the Mass Pike is completed, probably because the same contractor is responsible for both. I-84 was the first route to be renumbered starting on February 28, I-91 was next on March 3. Work on I-91 was completed on March 18, work then moved to MA Route 146 on March 21, followed by I-190 on March 23 and Route 2 on March 25. Work on Route 2 was completed the morning of April 13. I-495 was the next route, starting on May 16, was done in 4 sections in a south to north direction. Work was completed on the first section, from Route 28 to I-95, on the night of May 20 and northbound to I-93 on June 4. MassDOT announced the renumbering was complete on June 12, but a several, mostly gore signs, with old numbers still remained, mostly on I-495 South between Haverhill and Bolton, as of late June. A MassDOT email on June 30 again indicated work on I-495 was complete, though there were still signs with the old numbers reported in July. Work on the final 2 routes, I-395 and I-290, started on August 8, (postponed from August 1) after sign replacement work on I-290 is complete (the signs have been put up with the old numbers). Work was completed on August 20 on both routes. In early September, the MassDOT exit renumbering site stated work on the project had been completed. However, in 2022 there were new development. The dual mileposts put up along I-290 in the Worcester area were apparently too confusing and were removed with the I-290 mile markers simply continuing I-395's mileage. Also it as reported that some new exit numbers along I-290 had been changed again. For a full description of MassDOT's project, go to my Mass. Interstates Exit List website.

New Hampshire (Updated 6/16/24)

A November 20, 2019 report by WMUR indicated the NH Department of Transportation has endorsed revising the state's exit numbers to a mile based system. The project would be part of the state's next 10-year transportation plan which could be considered by the state's Executive council in late November. If endorsed there, the plan would go to the state legislature where it could take up to a year to work its way to approval. A week later, New Hampshire Governor Sununu expressed opposition to the proposal stating "Exit numbers are a point of pride for some of us in NH - and we shouldn't let Washington bureaucrats threaten to take that away!”³ However, a later news report indicated that despite the governor's insistence, the state's Executive Council, which actually has control over the state's highway plan, has included a renumbering project in its new Draft 10-year Highway plan. According to the document, preliminary engineering would have taken place in 2022 and the project started in 2023. However in the spring of 2020, the draft of the Highway Plan came up for review by the governor. He approved all the projects in August 2020, except one, you guessed it, the one for exit renumbering. The rejection was accompanied by the following comment:

"Exit numbers are a point of pride for many of us in New Hampshire, and exits we use say something about us and our communities. Changing exit numbers is unnecessarily burdensome for business owners and citizens, and the State already uses mile markers along the highways for reference by travelers. Accordingly, I have removed this project (Statewide 40915) from my version of the 10-Year Plan."⁴

In each of the following two years, 2021 to 2023, again NHDOT released its draft new 10 year plans in the fall. Each time there was a contract for exit renumbering.⁵ And each time the draft plan was returned by the governor's office in early December, with the only project turned down being the one for exit renumbering. Meanwhile, in September 2023, NHDOT released its draft new 10 year plan for 2025 to 2034. Again there was a contract for exit renumbering (40915) with preliminary engineering to take place in 2027 and the project to start in 2029 at a total cost of $1,309,881.⁶  Again the governor objected and when the new plan was submitted to the governor from the Governor's Council on November 29, 2023 the cover letter specifically mentioned that the exit renumbering project was removed.⁷ This was carried forwarded into the draft plan released in March 2024. In the summer of 2023 Governor Sununu announced he would not run for reelection in 2024. Perhaps there will be another attempt to start the project after a new governor takes office in 2025.

Rhode Island - COMPLETED (Updated 6/16/24)

Go to I-95 in RI Exit Renumbering Photos

RIDOT announced in the Fall of 2017 that the state planned to change all it's highway exit numbers to a mile-based system by 2020. Financial issues caused the project to be delayed by two years At the end of November 2022 the final contract to renumber the exits on I-95 was completed. Interstate 95 was to have its exits renumbered starting in December 2020, by the lowest bidder for the renumbering contract, Liddell Bros., Inc., news announced on June 19, 2020. However, the project never started and there was no public announcement of why by RIDOT. In a response to a question submitted to the agency by a poster at the AARoads Forum in March 2021, financial issues were cited as a reason for its delay. In September 2021 the contract was re-advertised and on October 22, 2021 the project was, guess what, awarded to Liddell Bros. again, this time at a cost of $925,504.⁸ Based on information in RIDOT's Quarterly report for September 2021, the work was to have started on December 15, but there was no public announcement as of the end of the year. The RIDOT project page was finally updated in early February 2022 to state that exit renumbering on I-95 was tentatively set for 2022 (it had said late 2020 for nearly 2 years). On July 12, 2022 RIDOT announced exit renumbering on I-95 would start on July 31, this was later postponed until August 7 and then finally to August 28, when the first 3 exits on I-95 South were renumbered. A press release indicates that the exit renumbering will contractor will change 2-3 exits a night, doing both directions for the same set of exits before moving on. New exit numbers include 7 instead of 3 for RI 138, 24B replacing 9 for RI 4, 28B instead of 11 for I-295, 36A replacing 19 (NB) or 20 (SB) for I-195, and the highest exit number being 43 instead of 30 for Roosevelt Avenue. As of November 2, 2022 all Exits 2-30 had had their numbers changed, but there were still some auxiliary signs, however that had not been updated along with missing Old Exit signs at some locations, these were supposedly fixed by the end of the month. The complete set of new numbers can be found on the RIDOT Mile-marker Exit Number Project Site.

Earlier, on August 16, 2019, the third, and supposed final renumbering project was awarded, for I-95 and the rest of the routes to be numbered: I-195, RI 24, RI 37.⁹ The original contract called for work to be completed between December 20, 2019 and February 28, 2020, but the winning bidder, Liddell Bros. complained this was too short a period for construction, because the contract included manufacturing and putting up 6 new cantilever supports and 1 cross highway overhead support, so the contract was amended to extend the deadline and apparently split the work so that the major piece of renumbering, I-95 would occur later. On November 27, 2019, RIDOT announced the first three routes of the final round of exit renumbering would be I-195, RI 10 and RI 37. Work on I-195 was to start on December 2 but snowy weather forced postponement first for a week, then to January 28, 2020. Most of the work was completed by February 9. The exits on RI 10 and RI 37 were renumbered during February (see photos below). The next route to have its exit renumbered was RI 24, work started on that project, which included new exit signs, in March and was completed in June 2020.

The first route to have its exit numbers changed was I-295 in late November/early December 2017, an exit number (1) were also put up on RI 99, whose exit previously had no number. RIDOT advertised a second contract for exit renumbering let on September 11, 2018 that was again awarded to Liddell Bros. of Massachusetts for $697,000. On December 4, RI posted what the new numbers will be on RI 4 and RI 78 (and added numbers for RI 403) on their website as part of this second round. The new signs went up by the end of December (RIDOT posted a travelers advisory saying there would be lane closures for sign work along RI 4, 78 and 403 during the day from December 10-14 and 17-21). From the website, here's an example of how the new exit gore sign for the Gano Street/India Street exit on I-195 East will look like (will plan to post photos of actual signs later in December):

Photos from the pre-2022 exit renumbering projects are below.

Vermont

The Vermont Department of Transportation (VTrans) has approved an amendment to their 2020 TIP to add supplemental tabs to the bottom of existing sequential exit signs listing the "milepoint" exit number for each exit. The FHWA considers this only as an interim measure before full compliance with the mile-based exit requirement. The actual conversion to mileage based exits may not happen until sometime between 2030 and 2035. The current project will take place during the summer of 2020 and be completed by August. In April 2020, a new Vermont Exit Numbers website was set up to explain the new signs to the public. The signs started going up in early June. Here's a photo of one of the new Milepoint Exit signs taken by project engineer Steve Goodwin on I-89:

And the promotional photo posted by VTrans on their Exit Numbers website:

The renumbered combination East US 20 to Route 146 guide/gore sign. Notice there is no Old Exit sign installed.

Old EXIT 7 (NB)*

The renumbered 2 Miles advance sign for the I-90 Mass Pike and Route 12 exit. The new number could have been better centered on the exit tab.

The renumbered 1 Mile advance sign with the Old Exit 7 sign, plus a pull through with the first mention of I-290.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign for the I-90 and Route 12 exit.

Before the exit, I-395 officially ends and I-290 begins.

The renumbered I-90 and Route 12 exit sign.

*Since I-290 officially begins south of the I-90/Mass Pike and Route 12 exit (see first dual milepost photo below, taken before the I-90 bridge), MassDOT considers this an I-290 exit on its exit listings, however I will place it here to match up with my I-395 Exit List.

(*NEW from Google Maps Street View, July and August 2022)

I-290's exits were renumbered between September 8 and 20, 2021. The work had to wait until (most) of new exit signs being put up along I-290 in Worcester were installed. The new I-290 exits use mileage carried over from I-395. To help alert motorists, NCDOT placed dual mile markers (really posting new I-395 markers next to the existing I-290 ones) showing I-290's and the continued I-395 mileage. Unfortunately, they decided to use I-395 shields on the mile markers, potentially confusing drivers or at least making some think I-395 now runs continuous with I-290 (MassDOT has stated they may consider replacing I-290 with an extended I-395 if this causes driver confusion). A better idea, in my view, would have been to have mile markers that replace the I-395 shield with text such as 'Exit Mile.' However, apparently MassDOT got enough feedback from drivers that some time during the late summer of 2022 they removed the dual markers replacing them along I-290 with I-290 sign markers with the total (I-395) mileage listed, photos of these coming soon, here's the latest image I could find showing the dual markers from August 2022, taken from Google Maps Street View:

Former Dual Mile Markers

Examples from I-290 East:

Set up for the 2/10 mile version, the first is for I-290 East, the second the mileage continued from the CT border along I-395 North.

The first set of dual mile markers on I-290 East. Did they have to include the I-395 shield? Seems this would cause some driver confusion.

In a few cases there was a missing I 290 milepost, but the I-395 milepost was added anyway. More confusion for drivers?

*Some additional mileposts taken on I-290 West, with similar issues:

A set of the dual markers headed west in the Northborough area, are drivers heading west to be more confused by the appearance of an I-395 shield?

Another lone I-395 marker without a corresponding I-290 milepost.

Also the Northborough area, there was at least 1 2/10 mile marker with I-395 mileage not paired with an I-290 version.

Exit Signage

Old EXIT 7 (WB)

The Renumbered newly placed 2 Miles advance sign for the now To I-90/Mass Pike exit approaching the end of I-290 West.

The new, and rare left-side cantilever 1 Mile advance sign for the To I-90/Mass Pike exit with Old Exit 7 sign.

A pair of renumbered ground mounted 1/2 Mile advance signs. Since these were replaced by the sign in the distance that was put up before the Exit Renumbering project started, would it have made more sense to remove them than change their exit numbers?

The renumbered official 1/2 Mile Advance sign for the Pike exit, along with an extended Exit Only tab that explains in great detail (for CT drivers?) where the right lane ends (given that this sign was supposedly designed with milepost exit numbers in mind, why is the bottom line not centered?).

The gantry at the I-90/Mass Pike exit had yet to have been replaced, therefore the new exit number was squeezed onto the existing exit tab, the renumbered gore sign in the distance, with its Old Exit 7 sign, is new.

Old EXIT 8 (WB)

The new renumbered 1 Mile advance for the now To Route 12 South exit, with an added letter and the Old Exit 8 sign on the right.

The new renumbered 1/2 Mile advance shares a gantry with the first I-395 exit and includes an Old Exit # sign for the US 20 exit.

The new renumbered To Route 12 South exit sign share the gantry with 2 older advance signs for US 20 on I-395 South.

The To Route 12 South gore sign and the Old Exit 8 sign, partially hidden by a former detour sign post, below.

Old EXIT 9

The renumbered 1 Mile advance for the Swanson Road exit on I-290 East which is before the I-90/Mass Pike and Route 12 exit.

The 1/2 Mile advance which shares a gantry with a VMS.

The renumbered Swanson Road exit sign (and exit behind the Oversize Load vehicles). Now heading westbound...

The renumbered newly placed 1 Mile advance sign for the Auburn Street exit westbound.

A renumbered blue Attractions sign for the Auburn Street exit.

The new 1/2 Mile advance sign for the Auburn Street exit, another set of dual mile markers can be seen beyond the sign.

The renumbered Auburn Street exit sign, surprisingly in Auburn.

The newly placed gore sign with Old Exit 9 sign below.

Old EXIT 10 (WB)

The renumbered new 1/2 Mile advance with the second Old Exit 10 sign on the support (see first under Old Exit 11).

The new Route 12 North exit sign with its newer number.

Old EXIT 11

They apparently decided to keep the Next Exit sign and renumber it, not usually needed anymore with milepost exits, to notify drivers that Exit 14 for Route 12 South is for westbound drivers only.

The renumbered 1 mile advance sign for new Exit 15, College Square/Southbridge Street along with the Old Exit 11 sign.

A renumbered combination of green auxiliary sign for the College Square exit and brown cultural attractions sign for downtown Worcester exits a few miles ahead.

A fuzzy image of the renumbered exit sign with new number gore sign in the distance.  Turning around and heading westbound...

The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance for College Square/Southbridge Street shares a gantry with the 1 Mile advance for the Route 12/Hope Avenue exit, with Old Exit # Signs for both exits on the right.

The College Square/Southbridge Street exit sign, with Exit 15 gore sign behind, but not Old Exit # Sign attached.

Old EXIT 12 (WB)

The renumbered 1/2 mile advance for the Route 146 South exit is accompanied by a 1 1/4 Miles advance sign for the Southbridge Street/College Square exit.

The new and renumbered 1/4 mile advance for the Route 146 South exit is accompanied by a West I-290, etc. pull through sign. Again a lopsided exit tab.

The Route 146 South exit sign is accompanied by an older and simpler West I-290 to South I-395 pull through sign.

Old EXIT 13

The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance sign for the Route 122A / Kelley Square exit headed east.

For the Route 122A exit there is an additional new 1/4 mile advance sign, paired with a permanent VMS.

The Route 122A / Kelley Square exit sign after the left dual mile marker confirms that 17 is the correct exit number.

The renumbered gore sign for the Route 122A exit. Turning around westbound...

The renumbered gore sign for the Route 122A/Kelley Square exit. A new two sign cantilever assembly for the College Square and South Route 146 exits in the distance.*

Old EXIT 14

The renumbered new exit sign for Route 122 is paired with the 1/2 mile advance for the MLK Jr. Blvd. exit, two exits away, with a lopsided exit tab, won't be the last. Heading west...

A stand alone new renumbered 1/2 Mile advance sign for the Route 122 exit, pardon the blurry image while the sign is new the bridge deck is quite old and bumpy.

The new Route 122 exit sign shares a gantry with the correctly numbered Route 122A 1/2 mile advance sign, again, the exit tab numbers are not centered correctly.

Old EXIT 15 (EB)

Renumbered gore sign for the Shrewsbury Street exit on I-290 East in Worcester. A new North I-395 mile marker lays beside the road, awaiting to be split in 2 like the I-290 marker? The street sign on top of the gore sign is temporary, awaiting a permanent overhead sign.

Old EXIT 16*

Renumbered combination of green guide and blue services sign for the MLK Jr. Blvd. exit on I-290 East in Worcester.

Renumbered MLK Jr. Blvd. exit sign share gantry with the 1/2 mile advance for the Route 9 exit which now features local street and square names instead of towns, see old sign in photos below.  Turning around and heading west...

Google Maps Street View image of new 1/2 Mile advance overhead sign sharing gantry with 2 Miles advance renumbered exit sign for South Route 146.

The previous version of the solo 1/2 mile advance sign after it was renumbered in September 2021.

New versions of the 1 Mile advance for Route 122 and 1/4 mile advance sign for MLK Jr. Blvd., both with non-centered exit numbers.Note the exit sign for Route 122A has the wrong number (should be 17).

The replaced overhead signage at the MLK Jr. Blvd exit, Google Maps Street View image taken in August 2022. This version includes a shared gantry with the 1 1/2 mile advance for the Route 146 exit.

 

The previous version of the renumbered signs at the MLK Jr. Blvd. shared a gantry with a 3/4 mile advance for the Route 122 exit.

Old EXIT 17 (EB)*

The new version of the 1/4 Mile advance sign for the Route 9 exit, with lopsided number and Exit Only banner. Image by Google Maps Street View in July 2022.

The previous version after the sign was renumbered in September 2021, plus a new Airport guide sign.

A renumbered blue Attractions sign for the Route 9 exit, unlike the one on the Mass Pike, this actually lists places.

The new versions of overhead signage at the ramp for the Route 9 exit, which include a 1 mile advance for the upcoming I-190/To Route 70 exits and also includes separate Old Exit 19 and 20 signs. Google Maps Street View image from July 2022.

The previous Route 9 exit sign, with installed new gore sign in distance. Notice the right dual mile marker (left one removed in September 2022) does not match up against the exit number.

Old EXIT 18 (WB)

The new renumbered 1 Mile advance for the westbound Route 70 exit, with Old Exit 18 sign prior to merge from I-190 South.

The renumbered Route 70 exit sign, with gore sign in distance, the exit number a little too far to the left here as well.

Old EXITS 19-20 (EB)

Google Maps Street View image of new 1/2 Mile advance signage for the I-190 North/To Route 70 exits taken in July 2022. Note the orange gantry placement tag is still present behind the sign.

The previous version of the sign after it was renumbered in August 2021.

This renumbered 1/4 Mile advance sign for the I-190 North and Burncoat Street (To Route 70) exit was not removed and not replaced in the spring of 2022. The new auxiliary sign behind is because the new signage does not include a Route 12 shield (see photo below).

The new and renumbered I-190 North and Burncoat Street exit sign also includes a small East I-290 pull through.

Seen from I-290 East, the renumbered overheads at the split of ramps for I-190 North and Burncoat Street.

This newly placed overhead sign on the right at the split of ramps to I-290 East and Burncoat Street does not have an exit number.

Old EXIT 19 (WB)

The renumbered recently placed 1/2 Mile advance sign for the I-190 North exit, the original signs included a Route 12 shield.

The I-190 North exit sign with a seemingly redundant North I-190 trailblazer in front. Again, notice the off-center number on the exit tab.

Old Exit 20 (WB)

The ramps for the I-190 North and Route 70 exits are separate on I-290 West, however, the first renumbered advance signs share the same gantry. Notice the Old Exit 19 and 20 signs are posted here, not waiting for the 1 mile advance signs. They also seemed to have problems with centering the exit number for the I-190 exit, see additional photos below.

The next set of renumbered advance signs also share the same gantry and another set of Old Exit 19 and 20 signs, and lopsided exit tab for the I-190 exit.

The renumbered Route 70 exit sign, not accompanying I-190 sign here.

Old EXIT 21 (EB)

The renumbered 1 mile advance for the Plantation Street exit, notice the new number doesn't match that of the dual milepost, though the old number (21) does.

Old EXITS 25 A/B

The renumbered 1 mile advance sign for the Hudson Street/Solomon Pond Mall Road exits with the Old Exits 25 A-B sign attached.

Prior to the exit there are a pair of advisory signs that I-290 Ends in 3 miles, shows you the length of backups expected at I-495.

A renumbered auxiliary sign for the Solomon Pond Mall Road exit. Based on later exit signs (below), this would appear to be redundant.

A renumbered Food and Lodging services sign for both Hudson Street and Solomon Pond Mall Road exits.

Renumbered overhead signs at the Hudson Street ramp. The dual mileposts prior confirm the correctness of the new number.

The exit sign for Solomon Pond Road shares a gantry with the 2 Miles advance for the last exit, I-495.

There are two stacked auxiliary sign for the new Exit 20.

The exit sign, because the gore sign has no number, the Old Exit sign was placed on this sign's support.

Old EXIT 11 (NB)

The first renumbered sign is an auxiliary. Guess if you want to do things the Walmart Way, this is your exit.

The 1/4 Mile Advance sign gets the Old Exit 11 sign.

Again, since the gore sign has no number, the old exit sign is placed here.

Old EXIT 10

The first sign for the I-90/Mass Pike exit headed north is the 1/2 Mile advance which receives the Old Exit 10 sign.

The last advance sign for the I-90/Mass Pike exit is for 800 Feet, just prior to the Mass Pike bridge.

Headed back north, the renumbered Route 122A South 1/4 Mile advance sign gets the Old Exit sign and shares the gantry with a VMS.

Again the exit sign has another Old Exit 9 sign due to the lack of a numbered gore sign.

Old EXIT 8

The only advance sign for the West Main Street exit headed south is this 1/4 Mile advance, with the Old Exit 8 sign below.

The exit for the Central Turnpike becomes a C/D lane, the gore sign now features its new lucky number.

Now heading north, the 1 Mile advance features the old exit sign.

The renumbered overhead exit sign and gore sign beyond for, what I assume, is now a toll free turnpike.

The renumbered southbound advance signs for the Route 2 East exit are diagrammatic ones, the Old Exit 27 sign is on the left support so not to interfere with the Deer Crossing sign.

Old EXIT 28 (28 A/B NB)

The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance for Route 10 North has the Old Exits 28 A-B sign because there is no 1 mile advance overhead currently on I-91 North.

Old Sturbridge Village is among the attractions on the renumbered blue services sign.

The first exit sign heading East is a 1 Mile advance with the Old Exit 2 sign, behind the East I-84 reassurance marker.

Old Sturbridge Village gets to be advertised again on this overhead auxiliary sign since it is located on a road with, conveniently, the same name, and now a new exit number.

Followed by another Old Sturbridge Village on a renumbered brown sign, ahead of the exit. No one can seriously say they missed the exit for lack of signage.

The exit sign for To Route 131 shares the gantry with the first renumbered advance for the US 20 exit.

Old EXIT 1

Heading west, the 1 Mile advance sign for the last I-84 Massachusetts exit now has the number formerly of the first. Notice the Picnic Area is referred to as a plain old Rest Area on the gore sign. Heading back east after crossing temporarily into Connecticut...

Makes sense that the first renumbered sign in Massachusetts is a Food Services sign featuring Dunkin (Donuts).

The renumbered auxiliary sign for the Peabody Essex Museum shares space with that for Salem State University.

The small brown Essex County Scenic Byway sign ahead of the exits for Route 114 headed north has been given a huge milepost based number.

The last set of advance signs for the Route 114 exit have both Old Exit signs on the right support post.

Heading south, the advance sign for the Route 114 exits has no exit tab, and therefore, no new numbers.

The exit sign for the Route 114 (West), has a center mounted exit tab with the new exit number and the Old Exit sign below.

The gore sign for the Route 114 West exit, and mile marker behind confirming the new 40B number.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign for Route 35 heading south does have a number.

Old EXIT 22

Renumbered signs at the Route 1A South exit on Route 128 North.

The Route 1A exit signs headed south were not replaced during the last sign replacement project, and for 1A South feature an unusual distance.

The Route 1A exit signs at the ramp to 1A North, notice the mile marker indicates the exit number is 1 mile greater than the actual mileage, and are of the old sign standard.

The overhead exit sign for Route 1A South was not replaced during the latest sign replacement project, but sports its new milepost based exit number.

A closeup of the gore sign.

Old EXIT 19

The 1/2 mile advance for the Sohier Road exit is the first exit sign northbound, therefore it gets the Old Exit 19 sign.

The exit sign for Sohier Road/Brimbal Avenue is quite a distance from the exit ramp.

Old EXIT 18

The 1/2 mile advance for the Route 22 exit is also the first exit sign northbound, so it gets the Old Exit 18 sign.

The guide sign for Essex exits with the new numbers (though they don't quite match up with the milepost in the foreground).

Old EXIT 15

A 3/4 Mile advance sign for the School Street exit gets the Old Exit 15 sign.

Old EXIT 12

The last numbered exit under the new system will be at Crafts Road before crossing the Annisquam River. The Old Exit 12 sign is on the 1/2 mile advance, no photo. Turning around, here's the 1/2 mile advance southbound:

The only advance sign for Crafts Road heading south on the other side of the Annisquam River.

 

Exit renumbering on US 3 began January 20, 2021 starting at the first southbound exit, Route 113 in Tyngsborough. Work concluded on February 10 after heading south then back north at the NH border. Here are photos of the renumbered exits, most courtesy of Paul Schlichtman, by old exit number heading south from the border to Burlington:

Old EXIT 36 (NB)

The 1-Mile advance sign for the last northbound exit, Middlesex Road, is just prior to the Route 113 exit. The number based on the mileage from the start of Route 3 in Bourne.

The 1 auxiliary sign for the Middlesex Road exit with new, but smallish, exit number.

The 1/2 mile advance sign for the Middlesex Road exit.

The last sign on US 3 North with a new exit number at the Middlesex Road exit.

Old EXIT 35

The 1 Mile advance sign headed northbound with the new mileage number and the Old Exit 35 sign on the support post.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign on South US 3 which shares its gantry with a VMS.

The SB exit sign with the new mileage number in front of the Route 113 bridge.

A closeup look at the gore sign with its new milepost based number headed north.

Old EXIT 34

The remaining exit signs, including the 1 Mile advance for Westford Road were renumbered the night of January 21/22.

The exit sign for Westford Road.

A closeup of the Westford Road exit gore sign.

A photo of the Westford Road 1-Mile advance sign headed north.

Old EXIT 33

The 1-Mile advance for the Route 40 exit, now Exit 86, is right in front of a traffic camera.

The exit sign for the Route 40 exit, with newly renumbered gore sign in distance.

The 1 mile advance sign for Route 40 headed back north.

Old EXIT 32

The 1-Mile advance for the Route 4 exit shares its gantry with another VMS.

Apparently, the shared gantry is why the Old Exit 32 sign is posted with the 1/2 mile advance sign.

The exit sign for the last interchange renumbered the first week.

Closeup of the gore sign for the Route 4 exit.

Old EXITS 30 A / B (NB)

The signs for this exit were put up the night of January 31. This 2 1/2 Miles advance sign with its new numbers, the sign combines 3 of the upcoming 4 exits with the Lowell Connector and I-495, leaving out the Route 110 exit.

The 1 Mile advance sign, the first for just the Lowell Connector and I-495 North exits, originally had the wrong numbers, the exit tab reading Exits 81 A-B, this was corrected at the end of the project, perhaps though it should say Exits 80-81A.

The 1/4 Mile advance ground mounted sign for the Lowell Connector and I-495 North exits again has the numbers backwards, though it's consistent for how the routes are ordered left to right on the sign.

The gore sign for the Lowell Connector and I-495 North exits also has the numbers backwards, though here it's consistent for how the old exits are displayed on the yellow sign, I-495 was Exit 30A and the Lowell Connector 30B.

The advance signs on the ramp to the Lowell Connector and I-495 North exits have the old exit signs as well.

The overhead signs approaching the split of the ramps to the Lowell Connector and I-495 North.

Closeup of the gore signs with another set of old exit number signs as well below.

Old EXITS 30 C / 31 (NB)

The first sign, the 2 Miles advance diagrammatic, with its new numbers for the I-495 South and Route 110 exit, showing both are reached by a C/D ramp is prior to the 1 mile advance sign for the Lowell Connector and I-495 North exits, see above.

The sign entering the C/D ramp, the old exit sign is on the support post to the right, due to no gore sign for these exits.

The bridge-mounted signs for the I-495 South and Route 110 exit, at the I-495 South ramp, the Route 110 exit tab having the number in the middle.

The gore sign for the I-495 South exit, and the Old Exit 30C sign.

The overhead exit sign for the Route 110 exit, with its new suffixed exit number, which is hard to fit on the existing exit tab.

The gore sign for the Route 110 exit, a little better job of fitting the new number into sign here.

Old EXITS 31-30 A/B (SB)

The 1-Mile sign for the combination Route 110 and I-495 exit.

The auxiliary sign for the Lowell Connector that must be reached via the I-495 North exit this direction.

Closeup of the 1/2 Mile diagrammatic sign for the combination Route 110 and I-495 exit, notice the 110 'TV' shield.

The exit sign for the Route 129 exit after entering the C/D lanes paralleling US 3 South.

The gore sign for the Route 129 exit, under the old system, this had a different exit number than the I-495 exits.

The exit signs at the ramp to I-495 South along the C/D lanes. The right exit number looks drawn in.

The gore sign at the ramp to I-495 South, the 8 only looks a little better than what was on the sign.

The bridge mounted sign prior to the ramp to I-495 North along the C/D lanes.

The gore sign at the ramp to I-495 North (and Lowell Connector) at the end of the C/D lanes. 

Old EXIT 29

The renumbered 1-Mile advance sign and Old Exit 29 sign added for the Route 129 exit.

The overhead exit sign prior to the Route 129 bridge.

A close look at the new number gore sign for the Route 129 exit.

The northbound exit number was changed the night of January 28. Here's the 1/2 mile advance paired with the 1 Mile advance which was not renumbered at the time.

Old EXIT 28

The renumbered 1 Mile advance for the Treble Cove Road exit in Billerica, with its Old Exit 28 sign.

The exit sign for the Treble Cove Road.

The renumbered gore sign Treble Cove Road with its Old Exit 28 sign attached.

The northbound 1/2 mile advance sign renumbered the night of January 28.

Old EXIT 27

The 1-Mile advance sign for Concord Road, now sporting Exit 76, and the Old Exit 27 sign attached on the support post.

The exit and gore sign for the Concord Road, with the new milepost number.

Turning around after exits were renumbered the night of January 27:

The 1/2 mile advance sign with its new number.

The renumbered auxiliary sign for Middlesex Community College, the milepost indicates this exit is closer to Mile 77.

A closeup of the Concord Road exit gore sign northbound.

Old EXIT 26

The renumbered 1-Mile advance sign for the Route 62 exit shares a gantry with a VMS, and does not have the Old Exit sign.

 

The 1/4 mile advance does have the yellow Old EXIT 26 sign. Notice the vast difference in exit numbers (and implied distance) prior to the exits for the I-95 exits being changed. When the I-95 exit number is changed there will be 2 miles listed between Exits 73 and 74, for the exit ramp is just before the Mile 74 marker, see photo below.

The renumbered overhead exit sign for the Route 62 in Bedford.

The gore sign for new Exit 73. Here's the milepost behind it which reads Mile 74, why was that number not chosen? Perhaps the mile markers are not quite accurate, Wikipedia lists this exit at Mile 73.4.

Turning around again...

The 1/2 mile advance sign get the Old Exit 26 sign in this direction.

Old EXITS 25 B/A (SB)

Same set of signs seen above two days later with the I-95 2 Miles advance sign now sporting its new exit numbers.

The next set of separate advance signs have the Old Exit 25 A/B signs split on each support post.

The next pair of advance signs trade distance for lane assignment directions.

The set of signs at the ramp split trade text for arrows. Given that US 3 continues on I-95 South it has been suggested that perhaps only the I-95 exit should be numbered.

A closeup of the gore sign for I-95 South, the mile marker behind it reads 71.8.

Approaching the end of the US 3 expressway, and a sign reminding drivers I-95 is also Route 128.

The last renumbered sign at the ramp to I-95 North, since there is no gore sign, the Old Exit 25 A sign was placed on the sign support. The button copy I-95 shield is to disappear over the next two years as US 3 undergoes a sign replacement project.

MA 24 Exit Remumbering photos now on

Renumbering work started and finished on the night and morning of January 4-5, 2021. Photos taken on January 24:

Old EXITS 1 A/B

The 1-Mile advance on I-295 South for the only renumbered exit in this direction, US 1.

Not quite Emerald City, but the Emerald Square Mall's auxiliary sign has been renumbered.

The overhead signage at the US 1 North exit.

Closeup of the renumbered US 1 South exit sign.

Closeup of the US 1 South exit gore sign. Turning around onto I-295 North...

Taken in July 2021 when had a chance to drive I-295 North between the RI border and I-95, the 1 Mile advance and Old Exits 1 A-B sign.

Overhead signage at the US 1 North exit includes the 2 Miles advance sign for I-95 with its new number.

The gore sign at the US 1 North exit, with confirmation by a Mile 2 marker in the distance.

Old EXITS 2 A/B

The first of two diagrammatic signs for the I-95 exit, the 1 mile includes the Old Exit 2 B-A sign on the right.

The renumbered auxiliary sign for Attleboro apparently doesn't care which way you go on I-95.

The 1/2 mile and 1/4 mile overhead signs for the I-95 exit.

The overheads at the split of ramps for I-95 North and South, notice the I-295 shields are missing from the End I-295 signs on the support posts.

A closeup of the pair of newly renumbered gore signs at the ramp for I-95 South, and their old exit signs.

The last renumbered sign on I-295 North making it clear you really need to slow down for the curve ahead.

Exit renumbering on the Mid-Cape Highway portion of US 6 started on December 14 and completed the morning of December 24, 2020. The photos below run, mostly, along US 6 East from Bourne to Orleans, by old exit number:

Old EXIT 1C

The signage for the Route 6A exit actually begins at the end of Route 3 South:

This is the second advance sign, the first is at 2 1/2 miles before the MA 3A exit, the exit tab has been altered to place the first US 6 exit number, 55 to the exit tab. In my opinion this complicates things, they should have just removed the reference to Exit 1C.

The 1-Mile advance signs, the need to place a 55 in the former spot of exit 1C crowds the exit tab of the left sign, again would have been simpler just to remove the 1C reference.

The 3/4 mile advance sign where MA 3 South ends at US 6, notice the yellow Old Exit 1C sign on the right, this will be the last one of that color.

The overhead signs at Route 6A exit, notice the former Exit 1B reference has been removed from the left sign and the Old Exit 1C sign on the right is now green. Apparently yellow signs on Cape Cod are not in character for the tourist destination.

The gore sign at the Route 6A exit, by the blinking yellow light, the green Old Exit 1C sign is much larger than others on the route.

A quick look at the westbound signage:

The 2 Miles advance sign for both Routes 6A and 3, only the exit for 6A has been renumbered although all were previously exits off of US 6.

This auxiliary sign for both Routes 3 and US 6, hints at a problem with the upcoming exit for US 6, no change in exit tabs implying that it is now an exit off of Route 3.

The 1 Miles advance sign for both Routes 3 and US, the Exit 1A is for Scusset Beach Road, if truly an exit off of Route 3, the US 6 sign should be Exits 1 A-B and the tab removed from the Route 3 North sign. This continues across the bridge, for those signs, see the Route 3 section below.

The 1/4 Mile advance sign for the Route 6A exit has the green Old Exit 1C sign, partially hidden by foliage.

The gore sign for the Route 6A exit with the green Old Exit 1C sign, partially hidden by the flashing light, Sagamore bridge beyond.

Old EXIT 2

The 1-Mile advance sign for Route 130, notice the Old Exit 2 sign us on a separate set of posts in front of the bigger sign.

The auxiliary green and brown sign for the Route 130 exit, the plans for this sign were provided by MassDOT during the US 6 exit replacement project of 2018-2019 to show how signs were being designed to hold a future milepost based number.

The exit sign for Route 130, renumbered gore sign in the distance.

Old EXIT 3

The 1 Mile advance for Quaker Meeting House Road, this time the Old Exit 3 sign is on the left support post, this photo not brought to you by Chick-fil-a.

The signage at the ramp with the new numbered gore sign in the distance.

Old EXIT 4

Here the Old Exit 4 sign is in front of the 1 Mile advance sign.

The new numbers look well placed within the exit tab and the gore sign in the distance.

Old EXIT 5

For the Route 149 exit, again the old exit sign is on a separate post in front of the larger sign.

For the exit sign for Route 149 is quite distant from the ramp in its location.

A closeup of the gore sign, the Old Exit 5 sign partially hidden by the reflector sign.

Old EXIT 6

The first sign for the Route 132 exit is this combined Park and Ride guide and blue general services sign with its large new milepost based number, was this number meant for the exit sign? See below.

The 1 Mile advance sign for Route 132 has the Old Exit 4 sign back on the left support.

The destination auxiliary sign for the Route 132 exit with its new milepost based number.

The exit sign for the Route 132 exit with the new very small number.

The gore sign for Route 132 with the green Old Exit 4 sign below.

Old EXIT 7

The 1 Mile advance for the Willow Street exit in Yarmouth, the Old Exit 7 sign on the left support post.

The new number for Willow Street seems to be little off-center in the exit tab.

The closeup of the gore sign and green Old Exit 7 by the supportive mile marker.

Old EXIT 8

The 1-Mile advance sign for the Union Street exit. Here the Old Exit 8 sign is again on separate supports in front of the bigger sign.

The exit sign for the Union Street exit.

Old Exits 9 A-B

The 1-Mile advance sign for the Route 134 exits. Again, the Old Exit 9 A-B sign is on separate supports in front of the bigger sign.

This Route 134 South exit auxiliary sign for Dennis Port is combined with a generic blue services sign.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign for the South Route 134 exit also lists Dennis Port.

The exit sign for Route 134 South, exit ramp in distance.

Because the Cape didn't want any overhead signs, the 1/4 Mile advance sign for Route 134 North is posted by the left lane.

The gore sign for the Route 134 South exit and green Old Exit 9 A sign.

The exit sign for the Route 134 North, the gore sign in the distance.

Old EXIT 10

Now on the Super-2 section, the 1-Mile advance with the Old Exit 10 sign on separate posts in front.

The exit sign with the new number supportive mile marker in front.

Old EXIT 11

The 1 Mile advance for the Route 137 exit.

An auxiliary sign with the new exit number.

The exit sign for the Route 137 exit with the ramp on the other side of the bridge.

Old EXIT 12

The Old Exit 12 sign for the last exit on the Mid-Cape Highway is on the left support post.

I-90 exit renumbering photos now on I-90 in MA Gallery

---

 

MA 3 exits were renumbered between the evening of December 1 and the morning of the December 14th, 2020. Photos will show the exit number changes starting from Braintree and working southbound by exit, in both directions:

OLD EXIT 20 (NB):

The I-93 exit was one of the last to be renumbered starting the evening of December 13. Here's the 2 Miles advance sign, which has the Old Exits 20 A-B sign. Those signs are supposed to be on the first exit sign, but has not always been the case (see Route 25 and I-195 photos below).

The 1-Mile advance, the first of 2 diagrammatic signs. Too bad MassDOT didn't take advantage of the exit number change to add US 1 shields to the signs or the support posts.

The overhead signs at the split, the last exit signs to be renumbered on Route 3.

OLD EXITS 19-18 (SB):

The first sign renumbered on MA 3 South is for two exits, Burgin Parkway and Washington Street, no old exit number signs appear on the right support for these exits here.

The duplicate pair of signs at the Burgin Parkway and Washington Street exit ramp.

The renumbered gore sign for the Burgin Parkway and Washington Street exits, the old exit number tab appears below, partially blocked.

The first sign for each exit appears, with new numbers, on the ramp from MA 3 South merging with the ramp from I-93/US 1 North.

Signage at the split of ramps includes a pair of gore signs with a second set of Old Exit # tabs below.

 

The overhead signs approaching the MA 3 South exit off of I-93/US 1 North in Braintree includes the first Route 3 exit sign, renumbered with yellow Old Exits 19-18 sign on right post. (New)

The second set of signs for the combined Burgin Parkway and Washington Street exits at ramp to MA 3 South on I-93/US 1 North.

The overhead signs at the Burgin Parkway and Washington Street ramp heading toward Route 3 South from I-93/US 1 North.

OLD EXIT 19 (NB)

There is no Exit 18 headed north, so the Next Exit 19 sign has been updated:

After are the signs for new Exit 42:

The 1-Mile advance with the yellow Old Exit 19 sign.

The exit ramp sign which is just beyond the Mile 42 marker. (In the distance you see the second set of orphaned signs for the ramp to I-93 from Washington Street in Braintree, not updated since the early 1980s).

OLD EXIT 17

The 1-Mile advance for Union Street exit, with old exit number sign on the support.

The overhead at the Union Street exit with new exit number,

Closeup of the renumbered gore sign for the Union Street exit, with a rather small number (compare it to the previous exits) and old exit number 17 tab below.

The Union Street exit signs the other way were renumbered the night of December 10-11:

The 1-Mile advance heading north.

The overhead sign at the exit ramp,

A close look at the gore sign.

OLD EXIT 16

Exit Renumbering for Route 18 happened December 3, here's the 1-Mile advance with the Old Exits sign on the support.

The South Weymouth auxiliary sign for the Route 18 South exit.

Now the advance signs for both Route 18 exits, each with its new number.

Overheads at the Route 18 South ramp, gore sign with new number in the distance.

The overhead at the Route 18 North exit.

A closeup of the North Route 18 exit gore sign and Old Exit 16A tab below. Pardon the number of photos for this exit, but it is currently 'mine'.

Signage heading northbound put up December 10-11:

The 1-Mile advance with the yellow Old Exit 16 sign on the left support post, the bridge over Pleasant Street is just beyond the sign.

This blank Lodging Services Sign was given the new milepost number for the Route 18 exit. It used to have a Super 8 Hotel logo on it, but its now the Boston Hotel and apparently not worthy of being on this sign.

The overhead sign at the ramp, only 1 exit this direction.

OLD EXIT 15

The next exit southbound is Derby Street, and the renumbering starting with this rather new 6-logo Food Services sign.

The 1-Mile advance sign for Derby Street, the yellow Old Exit 15 sign is on the left support of the ground mounted sign.

The To Route 53 auxiliary sign for the Derby Street with its new number. Pardon the number of photos here, this is the hometown exit.

The 1/2 mile advance for Derby Street, while trying to merge during the lane drop with a pickup hauling a motorboat.

Taken three days later, the renumbered exit sign for Derby Street, the newly paved roadway still under construction.

The Derby Street gore sign with its new number and the 1-Mile advance for the Route 228 exit, now Exit 35.

Heading northbound, signs installed on December 10-11:

The ground mounted 1-Mile advance sign heading on MA 3 North.

The overhead exit sign over the recently repaved lanes and new traffic camera, not yet accessible to the public, above the bridge.

OLD EXIT 14

The auxiliary sign for Nantasket with its new number.

The Route 228 exit sign, and renumbered gore sign in the distance crossing into Rockland.

Heading north again, exits renumbered the night of December 10-11:

The 1-Mile advance on the Old Exit 14 sign below, how long beyond 2 years will signs like that be likely to stay?

The overhead exit sign with the renumbered gore sign beyond. This was the hometown exit heading northbound.

OLD EXIT 13

Southbound exit numbers were changed between Norwell and Duxbury on the night of December 3...

The 1-Mile advance for the Route 53 (to) Route 123 exit, no longer unlucky number 13.

The auxiliary sign for Hanover Mall Drive with new number, the road currently leads to the former Hanover Mall which was torn down last year and is being redeveloped as "Hanover Crossing."

The 1/2 Mile advance just prior to the three-lane bridge over Route 123, awaiting the expansion of the rest of Route 3.

The renumbered overhead sign at the Route 53 (to) Route 123 exit.

Closeup of the gore sign, more small numbers, but there will be smaller numbers seen below.

Signs along the northbound lanes were placed on the night of December 9:

The 1-Mile advance with the Old Exit 13 sign below.

The exit sign with the confirmatory mile marker that this is (rounded) Mile 32.

The gore sign with a decent size number.

OLD EXIT 12

The 1-Mile advance for the Route 139 exit (new photo from two days later), next to the former rest area, now called the parking area.

Another 6 logo Food Services sign for the Route 139 exit.

The 1/2 Mile advance for the Route 139 exit, heading up hill.

The overhead at the Route 139 exit ramp, with its new number.

The gore sign for the Route 139 exit. The numbers keep getting smaller and smaller, hopefully this is only temporary.

Heading north, again these signs were placed the night of December 9:

The 1-Mile advance, the construction signs are for a paving project that starts just before the Route 139 exit.

The overhead at the exit with a gore sign with a decently sized number in the distance.

OLD EXIT 11

The 1-Mile advance for the Route 14 exit, the new exit numbers after Route 139 were put up overnight on December 3-4.

The overhead at the Route 14 exit ramp through the early December solar glare.

Same problem with the gore sign for the Route 14 exit ramp as with Route 139, small number even harder to see in the afternoon light.

The 1-Mile advance with its new number and Old Exit 11 sign heading north, no glare problem seeing this.

The overhead exit sign and gore sign in distance with yellow Old Exit 11 tab below.

OLD EXIT 10

The Food Service sign for the upcoming Route 3A to Route 53 exit with its new milepost number (20).

The 1-Mile advance for the Route 3A to Route 53 exit and yellow Old Exit 10 sign below.

The overhead sign for the Route 3A to Route 53 exit, again sorry for the glare.

Somewhat hard to see, but the gore sign for this exit also has a very small number (20). (New photo with less glare).

The 1-Mile advance northbound and Old Exit 10 sign on support post just beyond the Eel River bridge.

The overhead exit sign with a normal size numbered Exit 20 gore sign in the distance.

OLD EXIT 9

The overhead 1-Mile advance sign for the next Route 3A exit with its new milepost number (18).

The overheads at the Route 3A exit showing the 3A exit with its new milepost number, but the next exit, Smith Lane, with its sequential number.

The overhead exit sign prior to the Route 3A bridge heading north (the advance sign is at the ramp to Smith Lane, see below).

OLD EXIT 8

Due to the short distance from the US 44 West exit, there is no 1 Mile advance sign for the Smith Lane exit, so the first sign is the 1/2 mile advance which gets the Old Exit 8 sign.

The overhead gantry at the Smith Lane exit also has the 3/4 mile advance for the Route 3A Kingston exit, the old exit sign is placed on the 1/2 mile advance for that exit, no photo.

The gore sign for the Smith Lane exit, these are what the numbers should look like on all the signs.

OLD EXIT 7

First heading south...

This overhead sign was put up earlier this year. The exit tab was designed to hold the 2-digit milepost based number, but it looks like the overlay was placed directly over the old exit number (see photo below), leaving too much space on the right.

Heading north...

The 1/2 mile advance, an 'orphaned' sign, not replaced during the last sign replacement project in 2010. The Old Exit 7 sign was on the 1-Mile advance, no photo.

The exit sign, also an 'orphaned' sign.

OLD EXIT 6

The 1-Mile advance of the US 44 East exit (its Exits 15 A/B the other direction) with the Old Exit 6 sign obscured behind tree branches.

The blue Attractions Services sign for the US 44 East Exit showing its the exit to get to Plymouth Rock (and to be later disappointed as to how small it is?).

The overhead signs at the US 44 East/Samoset Street exit ramp. The pull through sign is the only mention that Route 3 North and US 44 West run concurrently between new exits 15 and 16.

The gore sign for the US 44 East/Samoset Street Exit.

OLD EXIT 5

The 1-Mile advance for the Long Pond Road exit, and a mile marker confirming the number is correct.

The blue sign is advising those who want to get to the service plaza off of Route 3 South, they should take the new Exit 13.

The overhead sign at the Long Pond Road exit ramp, with renumbered gore sign in the distance.

OLD EXIT 4 (SB)

The Plimoth Plantation Highway exit uses diagrammatic signs and the Old Exit 4 sign is along the left support.

The brown auxiliary sign advertising Plimoth Plantation has the new exit number, but not the new name for the attraction which is now Plimouth Pawtuxet Museum.

The newly numbered Plimoth Plantation Highway exit sign, the only left exit on Route 3, due to the Highway being part of the original alignment for the Route 3 Bypass of Plymouth, built before it became part of Braintree to Cape Cod expressway.

A closeup of the renumbered gore sign for the Plimoth Plantation Highway exit.

Since there is no Plimoth Plantation Highway exit northbound, the next exit sign has been revised...

OLD EXIT 3

The 1 Mile advance sign for Clark Road, now Exit 7. The Boston Globe had an article about the retirement community at Pine Hills having an advertising slogan of Exit 3 off of Route 3 and not being happy with the change of numbers.

Signage at the exit, which is now the last 1-digit exit on Route 3 heading north.

OLD EXIT 2

The 1-Mile advance for the first renumbered exit heading north on Route 3. The exit is almost a 1/2 mile before the Mile 3 marker and could have been left numbered as it was.

The first auxiliary sign northbound to have a new exit number.

The overhead and gore sign at the Route 3A North exit, the first of three between here and Duxbury.

EXIT 1

Though not renumbered, there was speculation of changes to the exit signs northbound since under the old system, Route 3 North was an exit from US 6 West, now two exits after the Sagamore Bridge are numbered as Route 3 exits. Would this result in the shifting of exit tabs from the Route 3 sign to the US 6 exit sign? Not at least yet.

The signs at the ramp to Scusset Beach Road, will the Exit 1B tab be moved to be over the US 6 exit?

The gore signs for the US 6 exit would have to be changed as well.

There may be changes when US 6 is renumbered. The southbound signs approaching the bridge have Exit 1C for Route 6A, which will now be Exit 55.

Will they change the left tab to Exits 55-1B or simply remove the 1C reference? I will post any changed I see when I document the exit changes on the Cape later in December.

 

Route 25 exits were renumbered the night of November 24-25, 2020:

The 1-Mile advance sign for the US 6/MA 28 Wareham exit, with the Old Exit 2 sign on the support post.

One of the renumbered blue services sign or the new Exit 3.

Signs at the exit, which is just after mile post 2.6.

There is actually a 3-Miles advance sign for the final exit, US 6. Added so that people can figure out how long the backup to the Bourne Bridge is in the summer?

This old style blue services sign, no logos, was not replaced, just the new exit number added.

The 2-Miles advance sign is an overhead variety, but the old exit sign is not on this sign either.

The auxiliary sign for the Massachusetts Maritime Academy has been updated with the new exit number.

The 1-Mile advance does include the Old Exit 3 sign, wouldn't it be better to put this on the first advance sign for an exit, or at least the first overhead sign?

Another updated auxiliary sign.

The 1/2 mile advance sign with its new number.

The last renumbered sign approaching the exit ramp.

The renumbered gore sign and Old Exit 3 tab below heading up the ramp to US 6.

*New images taken along East I-195 from Google Maps Street View and are from June and July 2021.

Old EXIT 22

The last exit on I-195 East was not renumbered with the rest of the highway, but was done more than two weeks later on Nov. 23, 2020:

The 2-Miles advance overhead for the I-495 North/MA 25 exit, new exit numbers were placed on this sign the night of November 23-24.

The Old exits 22 A/B sign is on the 1-Mile advance support.

The 1/2 mile advance diagrammatic sign with milepost indicating exit ramps at near mile 39.7.

The overheads at the ramp split. Notice there is only a gore sign for the Route 25 exit.

The rest of I-195 was renumbered from October 25 to November 5:

Signs renumbered traveling along I-195 West from Wareham to Seekonk.

Old EXIT 21

The first renumbered exit sign on I-195 West on the ramp from Route 25 West, because there's no 1-Mile advance sign, the old exit sign was placed here.

The 1/4 mile advance sign with the new number is on the ramp from I-495 West.

The exit sign with the new number and the newly numbered gore sign with an Old Exit 21 tab below.

Bonus signs from I-195 East, taken October 27:

There is a 1-Mile advance sign for this exit heading east.

The renumbered exit sign heading east, and the new number gore sign in the distance.

Old EXIT 20

The next sign westbound was for the Route 105 exit, 4 miles from the Route 28 exit.

The bridge mounted sign at the exit, the milepost indicates that the new number is correct.

A closeup of the new Exit 35 gore sign with Old Exit 20 tab below.  Turning around and heading east...

*The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance sign.

*The Route 105 gore sign with Old Exit 20 sign below.

Old EXITS 19 A/B

The 1-Mile advance for the next exit, North Rochester/Mattapoisett, New Exits 31 A and B.

*The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance sign eastbound has the Old Exit 18 sign.

*The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance sign eastbound has the Old Exit 18 sign.

*The gore sign with the Old Exit 18 sign below.

Old EXIT 17 (WB)

Heading into New Bedford, the 1-Mile advance for Coggeshall Street, now Exit 28.

 

The overhead gantry with the 1/2 mile advance for the Coggeshall Street exit also includes the 1-Mile advance for Route 18 South, but no old exit tab, thought to be too confusing here?

Nor is there any old exit sign for Route 18 at the exit for Coggeshall Street.

Old EXIT 16 (EB)

*The renumbered exit sign for the eastbound only Washburn Street exit shares a gantry with the 1 1/4 Miles advance sign for Route 240.

Old EXIT 15

Apparently the exit renumbering contractor only had permission to remove the number from the the Next Exit sign, but not the sign itself.

The 1-Mile advance for the Route 140 exits westbound also does not have a old exit number sign, this was placed on the 1/2 mile advance (no photo).   Turning around and heading east..

*The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance for the Route 18 South exit is bridge mounted and features a separate Old Exit 15 sign.

*A renumbered blue Attractions sign for the Route 18 South exit with additional entries for Ferry Services.

*The renumbered exit sign for Route 18 South shares a gantry with the 1 mile advance for Washburn Street in New Bedford.

*Closeup look at the Route 18 South exit gore sign and attached Old Exit 15 sign.

*The renumbered 1/2 mile advance sign for the Penniman Street exit shares a gantry with the other eastbound only exit, Washburn Street, and its Old Exit 16 sign.

*The renumbered 1/2 mile advance sign for the Penniman Street exit shares a gantry with the other eastbound only exit, Washburn Street, and its Old Exit 16 sign.

*The renumbered 1/2 mile advance sign for the Penniman Street exit shares a gantry with the other eastbound only exit, Washburn Street, and its Old Exit 16 sign.

Old EXITS 13 A/B

The numbers on this auxiliary sign for the Route 140 exits has been updated.

Signage at the Route 140 exits, this is now the first interchange in the state where both routes have had their exits renumbered.

The exit sign for Route 140 South, now Exit 24 A.  Heading back eastbound in July 2021:

*The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance for the South Route 140 exit.

*The renumbered North Route 140 exit sign shares a gantry with the 1 Mile advance for Route 18 South, no Old Exit # sign for that exit.

*The gore sign for the South Route 140 exit, with Old Exit 13A sign below.

Old EXITS 12 A/B (WB)

*The renumbered 1 mile advance for the combined Reed Road exit in this direction, with Old Exit 11 sign.

*The renumbered Reed Road exit sign.

Old EXIT 10

The 1-Mile advance for the South Route 88 exit, does the new number in the exit tab look a little "dirty" to you?

The new number on the exit tab looks a little 'dirty' here too. Perhaps its sand colored for Horseneck Beach? Turning around...

*The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance has the Old Exit 10 sign heading east.

*The renumbered gore sign with its Old Exit 10 sign heading off toward Route 88.

Old EXITS 8 A/B

The first advance signs for both Route 24 exits, apparently giving them two different exit numbers, is now seen as too confusing, though they are a mile apart.

As the mile marker indicates, the Route 24 exit is closer to Mile 15 then 14.

As with the Route 24 North, the yellow old exit sign is attached to the 1/2 mile advance sign, not the 1 mile.

The older bridge mounted signage at the ramp to Route 24 South with the new exit numbers, with the Exit 14 A text is squeezed into the space for 2 numbers.  Turning around and heading east...

*As with westbound, with the same number assigned to both Route 24 exits we have 1 mile separating Exit 8A and B.

*The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance sign for Route 24 South has the Old Exit 8A sign.

*The renumbered 3/4 Mile diagrammatic Route 24 North advance sign is missing something and features a separately mounted Old Exit 8B sign.

*The renumbered 1/4 Mile diagrammatic Route 24 North advance sign has a button-copy I-495 shield.

*The Left Route 24 North exit sign share the gantry with the 1 mile advance sign for the Sanford Road exit, no Old Exit # sign here.

Old EXITS 6-7

Old signs also remain at the ramp to the Route 81 South and Pleasant Street exits.

Newer overhead signs along the C/D lanes of I-195 West with new exit numbers, and the gore sign for new Exit 13 with old exit tab seen just above the Jersey barrier.

The overhead sign with the new exit number for the Pleasant Street exit, with gore sign in distance. Heading the other direction in July...

*The 1/2 Mile advance sign for the Route 81 South/Plymouth Avenue exits share a gantry with the Route 79/138 exit, its renumbered gore sign behind.

*The renumbered 1/4 Mile advance sign proceeds entry into a short tunnel underneath downtown Fall River, and also has the Old Exits 6/7 sign.

Old EXIT 5

*The renumbered 1/4 Mile advance sign, not updated during the last sign replacement contract, the blanked out space used to say Boston before the Route 79 expressway was demolished, MassDOT would prefer traffic to head north now on Route 24.

*A renumbered brown cultural attractions sign for the Routes 79/138 exit, guess its up to your imagination what attractions can be found at the Fall River waterfront.

Old EXITS 4 A/B (WB)

Across the Braga Bridge approaching the renumbered 1-Mile advance for the Route 103 exit.

Overhead signs at the ramp to Route 103 East, the second to last 2-digit number exit on I-195 West.

Old Exit 4 (EB)

*The renumbered 1 Mile advance for the combined Route 103 exit in this direction which also has a To in front of the shield and the Old Exit 4 sign below.

New exit number displayed on auxiliary sign for Route 136 exit.

Example of exit renumbering on a blue services sign, in this case for gas stations at the Route 136 exit.

The last renumbered overhead exit sign and gore sign headed west on I-195 in Swansea. Heading back east...

*The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance sign for the Route 136 exit, which spends a short time in Massachusetts, therefore the RI control cities.

*The renumbered gore sign for the Route 136 exit, heading down the off-ramp.

EXIT 1

The lone remaining 1 Mile advance sign keeping its exit number, for the Route 114A exit in Seekonk.

The last exit sign on I-195 West, keeping its original number.

However, not all exits on I-195 had been renumbered, here are the signs at the end of  I-195 East:

I assume this exit was not forgotten about and will be given new numbers at the same time Route 25 is renumbered starting the night of November 8.

 

Route 140 exits were the first to be renumbered from October 18 to 22, 2020:

Heading north toward Route 24 on October 19, the day after the renumbering project started. Only the Route 24 exit had new numbers:

The 1-Mile advance overhead with new exit number and yellow old exits number tab on support post, only the 1-mile advance gets the tab.

The next sign, there is no 1/2 mile advance, with the new number.

The new exit numbers on the overheads at the Route 24 North ramp.

The gore sign with the new number and yellow old exit tab at the Route 24 ramp.

The newly numbered 'exit' sign for Route 140 South, partially hidden by a traffic signal.  Turning around and heading south:

The southbound signs at the Route 24 South 'exit'.

The Route 24 North 'exit' sign partially obscured by one of the traffic signals. 

Continuing further south on October 25 after all the signs had been renumbered, here's the new number on the ramp from Route 24 North to Route 140 South, which includes the old exit tab, as does the same sign on 140 itself:

The old exit number tabs typically are only one the 1-Mile advance sign, but there's not one for this exit heading south.

The overheads with the new numbers for both the County Road and Stevens Street exits.

A closeup view of the renumbered gore sign and old exit tab below for the County Road exit.

The large gore sign for the Stevens Street exit was not changed to a standard variety, the old exit tab was placed on the right support post under the sign,

The 1-Mile advance for the Route 79 exit with its new number and yellow Old Exit 10 sign on the support post.

As stated above, while the exit number is changed, the small Old Exit number signs will only be placed on the first advance sign, not subsequent ones, such as this 1/2-mile sign for Route 79.

The renumbered sign at the exit ramp and gore sign with the other yellow old exit number tab below it, the same sign last week:

Route 79 exit's numbers were changed the night of October 20.

The 1-Mile advance for the next exit, County Road in Lakeville, with the Old Exit 9 sign on the support post.

The 1/2 mile advance with just the new exit number.

The exit sign at the ramp to County Road.

Closeup of the gore sign for the former Exit 9.

The newly renumbered 1-Mile advance sign for the Chace Road exit, the last renumbered exit.

The 1/2 mile advance with its new exit number, based on the mile marker it appears the 1/2 mile advance is 4/10 of a mile from the 1-Mile advance sign.

The exit sign with its new number is on the other side of the bridge from the exit ramp.

The new Exit 10 gore sign with the yellow Old Exit 8 tab below, for the last renumbered exit. I do not care much for the font of the new number overlays.

The remaining exits on MA 140 keep their existing numbers, starting with Braley Road.  Turning around and heading north some more examples of new exit number signage:

The new numbers start with the 1-Mile advance sign for Chace Road in Freetown.

The new numbered overhead and gore sign for the northbound exit.

The 1-Mile advance for the Lake Road exit and its Old Exit 9 sign attached to the support post.

The new numbers on the signs at the County Road exit do match up with the closest mile marker.

The 1-Mile advance sign for the Route 79 exit with its new number and old exit number sign.

The numbers on the blue services signs have been changed as well, here for the Route 79 exit.

The newly numbered exit sign and gore sign beyond as Route 140 enters Taunton.

The 1-Mile advance sign for the single Stevens Street exit heading northbound with its Old Exit 11 sign attached.

The exit number for the Galleria Mall Drive auxiliary sign also has been changed.

The changed number overhead and gore signs for the Stevens Street exit.

Rhode Island Exit Renumbering Progress in 2020

RI 24

Work started on the exit sign replacement/exit renumbering project in March. As of the weekend of June 13-14 all the signs were up, though RIDOT stated work was continuing the following week. The photos start on RI 24 South to Portsmouth then return to the Massachusetts border:

In addition to putting up all the new signs, new mile markers were also placed in early June heading the correct direction with Mile 0 being at the southern end of RI 24.

The new 1-Mile advance for Fish Road with the new Exit number 5, and Old Exit 6 tab on top, partially hidden by branches.

A new auxiliary sign has also been added indicated Tiverton is reached by the next 2 exits.

The new 1/2 mile advance sign for Fish Road, in the distance is a RI 24 South Mile 6 marker.

The overhead sign at the Fish Road exit ramp, new exit number gore sign seen in distance.

The new 1/2 mile sign with new exit number (4) for the now RI 77/RI 138 North exit (sign drops To RI 177) is partially blocked by South RI 24 reassurance marker and hidden in tree branches.

The overhead sign at the exit ramp, and new small gore sign with yellow Old Exit 5 tab below in distance. Existing and new signs for the next 2 exits can be seen in the Previous Photos section.

New signs are also up for the last exit on RI 24 South, this the 1/2 mile advance. (Would this be better signed as TO RI 114 North since the last exit was also for RI 138 South?)

Just prior to the exit is the newly installed South RI 24 Mile 1 marker.

The last new overhead exit sign and gore sign on RI 24 South.  Turning around....

But first, am I getting on the ramp to MA 24 North or RI 24 North?

The new 1-Mile advance sign for the Boyds Lane exit as seen from ramp to RI 24 North.

The new North RI 24 Mile 1 marker can be seen at the end of the entrance ramp.

The new 1/2 mile advance sign for the Boyds Lane exit.

A new auxiliary sign for the Boyds Lane exit for people looking for other bridges or education.

The new overhead exit ramp sign for Boyds Lane, images for the new signs for the next exit can be seen in Previous Photos section.

The existing exit tab for the RI 77/RI 138 exit has been revised to show the new exit number and add a yellow old exit number tab above.

The overhead sign at the exit ramp with the same exit number revision and new yellow old exit number tab. 

The new overhead 1-Mile advance sign for Fish Road installed in early June with the new exit number.

The overhead sign at the exit ramp, just behind a new Mile 5.2 marker.

A closeup of the rather small exit gore sign, and even smaller yellow Old Exit 6 tab. This is the last Rhode Island exit, but not the last new sign...

They have also installed new advance signs for the first Massachusetts exit, Route 81, but they use RI 81 shields. RI 81 doesn't begin until 1/4 mile south of the exit.

The last new North RI 24 'enhanced' mile marker before the Massachusetts border.

The new 1/2 mile advance sign for the MA 81 exit across the border, again using a RI 81 shield.

They also put up a new I-195 advance sign. Notice no exit number, and Exit 2 Miles text. If they did this due to the upcoming MassDOT Exit Renumbering Project, they didn't need to worry, the current plan is for Route 24's exits to stay the same through Exit 7, though it means that Exit 3 for I-195 West is 2 miles from the border.

The only missing new sign spotted was one of the blue service signs for the MA 81 exit at the border, and if you're wondering how long Route 24 is in Rhode Island, it's a little more than 7.6 miles.

PREVIOUS PHOTOS

Taken Memorial Day weekend supports for all the new signs had been put up, some of the new exit signs had been placed at the southern end in Portsmouth, but no exit renumbering for the first two exits in Tiverton had occurred.

Among other things that still need to be done are placing new mile markers that count miles going south to north, the current markers, like the one above prior to the Fish Road exit in Tiverton, start at the Mass. border and increase heading south.

The gantry for the future exit sign with Exit 5 tab for Fish Road on RI 24 South can be seen behind the current sign. There were also ground mounted supports in place for the 1/2 mile advance sign.

The supports for the future ground mounted advance sign for the RI 77 exit can be seen in front of the damaged overhead sign it will be replacing.

A new auxiliary sign for RI 138 North has been placed 1/4 mile before the RI 77 exit southbound, RI 138 South joins RI 24 after the exit.

The new sign gantry partially blocks the existing exit sign for RI 77, notice also the Exit 5 gore sign which will be replaced by one indicating Exit 4.

The signs for the Anthony Road exit on RI 24 South were put up when the new bridge was constructed and will not be replaced, nor exit renumbered.

The only new exit signs that had put up southbound were for the RI 138 (South/West) exit, here's the 1/2 mile advance sign, with the old sign still up in front of it.

The new overhead at the exit ramp stands alone, the older sign was removed here.  Turning around and heading north...

Both advance signs are new for the Hummock Avenue exits, this one the 1-Mile advance.

The new 1/2 mile sign is partly hidden by branches.

The ramp sign is newish, replaced as part of the bridge construction project.

The RI 77/RI 138 North exit sign in this direction also is new and will not be replaced, though the exit number for it and the gore sign will be changed to 4.

The gantry for the future 1/2 mile advance sign for Fish Road stands behind the current sign.

As does the gantry for the future overhead sign at the exit ramp. This was the last new gantry seen, unknown whether RIDOT plans to updated the MA 81 exit signs on their side of the border.

RI 10

Contractors started placing the new exit numbers the week of February 17 and was completed a week later:

US 1 (Old Exit 1 / New Exit 1A)

The signage at the ramp to US 1 on RI 10 South, showing the old exit number tab on the sign above the exit number and below the number on the gore sign.

Now heading north on RI 10 with the first exit signs for US 1 North and I-95.

The exit northbound is for US 1 North only. The wide gore sign with the yellow old exit tab below.

I-95  (Old Exits 2 A/B / New Exits 1 B/ C)

The first advance sign for the I-95 exit on RI South is prior to the RI 2 exit.

The ramp off of RI 10 South serves both I-95 exits.

Heading back north:

The old exit tab over the I-95 South 1/2 mile advance sign is next to the sign on the gantry itself, not on top like the I-95 North sign.

RI 2 (Old Exit 3 / New Exit 2A)

The first sign southbound is the 1/2 mile advance sign just after the Mile 2 marker.

The existing Cranston auxiliary marker had its exit number changed creating an uneven appearance.

The 1/4 mile advance sign is at the 1.6 mile mark.

The 1/2 mile advance sign northbound, the first RI 2 exit sign with old exit tab on top.

The next sign can't decide whether it's a short overhead or tall ground mounted 1/4 Mile advance sign.

The last of the RI 2 signs also share the overhead gantry with the first sign for the Industrial Park/Niantic Drive exit, a rare 1-Mile advance sign, heading further on RI 10 North.

Industrial Park / Niantic Drive (NB) (Old Exit 4 / New Exit 2 B)

The 1/2 mile advance is the second sign for this exit heading north on RI 10.

The final sign for Industrial Park/Niantic Ave. shares the gantry with the first sign for the Union Avenue exit, the left old exit tab mounted on the gantry post.

Cranston Street (SB) (Old Exit 4 /New Exit 2B)

Heading south on RI 10 new Exit 2B is for Cranston Street. Here the old exit tab is mounted to the right of the sign.

The old exit tab for the exit sign is now actually a ground mounted sign behind the overhead support post.

Union Avenue (New Exit 3A / Old Exit 5)

The first sign on South RI 10 for Union Avenue is a temporary 1/4 Mile advance sign with the old exit number.

The overhead sign at the exit has the right number and, unlike the Cranston Street sign seen in the distance, has the old exit tab on top.

The overhead signs at the exit for Union Avenue feature one old exit tab on top, the other on a separate sign behind. If you're are wondering about Exit 3B, it is reserved for the future exit for US 6 West.

The new gore sign for the Union Avenue exit.

Westminster Street / Olneyville Square (Old Exit 6 / New Exit 3C)

The only other sign for the Westminster Street exit is this orange temporary sign also directing traffic, for now, to US 6 West with a more permanent old exit sign mounted below.

For those curious about the US 6 / NC 10 interchange construction project, a photo heading southbound prior to the Union Avenue exit:

Also spotted in the construction area along RI 10 South:

RI 37

Contractors also completed placing new exit number signs on RI 37 during February:

I-295 (WB) Exit Numbers (1 A/B) stay the same

RI 2 New London Avenue / Reservoir Avenue (Old Exits 2 A / B, New Exits 1 C / D)

The first sign eastbound, the 1/2 mile advance has the old exit number tab at the bottom, similar to the gore signs.

The advisory sign for eastbound traffic about the exit number changes that didn't happen until the winter of 2020.

The old exit number tab in this case is mounted on the right support post of the overhead exit sign.

While the old exit number tab for RI 2 North is also on the support post, the Pontiac Avenue sign has it on top.

Heading westbound, the Pontiac Avenue old exit tab is mounted on the sign, but the one for the two RI 2 exits is ground mounted just in front of the sign.

The overhead exit sign for RI 2 North in this direction with the yellow old exit tab on the support post.

The old exit information for RI 2 South, however, is on a separate sign behind the overhead support post.

Behind this closeup of the new RI 2 South exit gore sign you can see the 1/2 Mile advance sign for I-295 with the same exit numbers.

Pontiac Avenue / Pastore Govt. Center (Old Exit 3 / New Exit 1E)

The signs for Pontiac Avenue features the only case of an E suffixed exit in Rhode Island.

The overhead signs at the Pontiac Avenue exit feature, unlike most similar signs, both yellow old exit tabs on top of the new exit number tab.

Interstate 95 (Old Exits 4 A/B New Exits 2 A/B)

The 1/4 Mile advance sign for I-95 South on RI 37 East does not feature an old exit number tab.

The old exit number tabs on the overhead signs at the I-95 South exit ramp feature one on the top to the left of the sign, the other on the right support post.

The old exit tabs for the next overhead signs are back on top.

The first sign for the I-95 North exit headed west has the old exit number tab on the lower horizontal support beam, the RI 37 exit number change advisory sign in distance.

The signage for the I-95 South exit heading west on RI 37 is diagrammatic, the old exit sign placed in front of it, the one for I-95 North to the right of that sign.

Closeup of the new gore sign for the I-95 North exit ramp.

The second diagrammatic for I-95 South, with ground mounted old exit tab, the old exit tab for the Pontiac Avenue 1/2 Mile advance sign is on the top.

US 1 / Post Road (EB) (New Exits 3 A/B Old Exits 4 A/B)

The exit only overhead for US 1 South features an old exit tab on one of the horizontal support posts.

The overheads at the split of the ramps at the end of RI 37 East have old exit number tabs also on the horizontal support beams.

The exit gore signs at the split of the US 1 North and South ramps have the new exit number, but no yellow old exit number tab.

I-195

The next phase of exit renumbering started with I-195 on January 28. The following photos were taken on February 9 after most of the project had been completed. Starting westbound:

The variable message sign and small green sign beyond indicate the exit renumbering project along I-195 has begun.

The first new exit number sign is for the To 103/US 44 (East) exit in East Providence, Old 6, Now 2. The exit signs are new, in place after a bridge reconstruction project, and feature too small lower case text.

The 1/2 mile advance is an overhead sign, with the same too small text problem.

As the I-95 exit sign reads, New Exit 2 is 2 miles from the end of I-195 West in Providence, the rest of the exits use Mile 1.

The new milepost based number gore sign, the old exit tab below is partially hidden.

The 1/2-Mile advance sign for the Gano Street exit, former Exit 3, now Exit 1D, partially hidden by brush.

The Gano Street 1/4 mile advance sign with the Old Exit 3 tab on top.

The gantry with the exit sign for Gano Street also features the 1/2 mile advance sign for US 44 West, formerly Exit 2. The new gore sign for Exit 1D can be seen further in the distance.

The overhead exit ramp sign for the US 44 West has the last new exit number heading west on I-195.

The numbers for the exits after the split of ramps for I-95 at the end of I-195 West remain the same.

The exit for Eddy Street uses the ramp to I-95 South while you must use the ramp to I-95 North to access Point Street.

Turning around and heading back east:

Signage at the beginning of I-195 East with new numbers for the Gano Street and US 44/RI 103 East exits and yellow old exit tabs above. The right support post used to have a sign indicating there was no Exit 1.

Gano Street is now Exit 1A heading eastbound, vs. 1D westbound.

The new milepost based gore sign for the Gano Street exit.

The overhead signs for the RI 103 and US 44 exits, as the Old Exit 4 tab indicates, the US 44 exit is now split into two separate exits.

The overhead exit sign for US 44 East, now split into B and C exit ramps.

Closeup of the new gore sign for the US 44 East exit with the signs for the split between US 44 and Riverside Avenue seen in the distance on the right and the exit sign for RI 103 in the distance on the left.

Closeup of new Exit 1D gore sign for the RI 103 exit ramp on I-195 East.

The 1-Mile advance sign for RI 114 is missing its top, perhaps with a new exit number yet to be installed , while the Broadway exit is now Exit 2A.

The exit sign for the Broadway exit, New Exit 2A, has a couple extra street, Warren and Pawtucket Avenues, listed.

The 1/2 mile overhead is complete for RI 114 South, an earlier ground mounted sign can be seen behind it.

This overhead gantry has the 1/4 mile advance sign for the last RI exit for US 6. This exit is actually past milepost 3, but perhaps due to the short distance after the RI 114 exit, they decided to make it Exit 2C.

The new number gore sign for the RI 114 South exit,

The exit sign for the US 6/Pawtucket Avenue exit, featuring the too small lower case lettering as seen heading west, the last new exit number sign in Rhode Island.

Additional photo, not of new exit signs, but reassurance markers missing their directional banners, heading west after the Gano Street exit:

This part of I-195 also carries US 6 and US 44 West and US 1A (or is it RI 1A?). There are no reassurance markers for US 6 or 44, those routes only appear on the overhead signage. US 1A has a reassurance marker but does not appear on any signs.

Here is a traffic camera image taken the January 29 showing exit numbers change for former Exits 2, 4 and 5 headed east near the interchange with I-95:

RI 146 EXIT NUMBERING (2019-2020)

As part of the RI effort, though under a separate contract, mile based exit numbers were added to RI 146 between Providence and the Massachusetts state line starting in 2019. The contract has 2 parts. Part 1 added mileage based exit numbers to new signage going up between RI 99 and the Mass. border and new exit number signs to support posts of the remaining exits along with new mileage based exit number gore signs. During Part 2 the exit signs themselves will be replaced in 2020. Here are photos of the signage put up during the first part of the contract:

Starting at the southern end at I-95 and heading north:

An 'Exit 1' sign has been added to the support post for the existing Branch Avenue exit overhead sign.

The new Exit 1 gore sign for the Branch Avenue exit, the to be replaced RI 15 exit 1 mile advance sign can be seen in the distance.

An 'Exit 2' sign has been added to the support post at the RI 15/Mineral Springs exit in North Providence.

The new gore sign for the RI 15/Mineral Springs Road exit.

The next exit is 4, with a sign posted on the support post before the Twin River Road bridge in Lincoln.

The new Exit 4 gore sign for the Twin River Road exit, with  4.4 mile marker behind, confirming the right number.

An Exit 5 sign attached to the support post of the overhead RI 123 exit sign, with new gore sign seen in the distance.

An Exit 7 sign is mounted to the support post for the RI 116 exit sign approaching I-295 on RI 146 North.

A temporary exit sign due to ongoing construction followed by a new RIDOT truck toll gantry.

The support post for the overhead signs at the I-295 North ramp has an Exit 8A sign (taken from the express lanes on RI 146 North, next time I'll use the local lanes).

The Exit 8B sign is on the support post for the I-295 South exit sign prior to the I-295 bridges.

As seen from under the I-295 bridges, the new gore sign for the I-295 South exit.

The new Exit 8C sign is posted on the support prior to the RI 99 exit at mile marker 8.4.

The new gore sign for the RI 99 North exit, the freeway temporarily ends beyond the bridge in the distance.

Prior to the start of the next freeway section, the 1/2 mile advance sign support get the Exit 10 sign, this is the last sign northbound to replaced under Part 2 of the RI 146 sign replacement project later in 2020.

The overhead exit sign was replaced under Part 1 of the replacement project and has an Exit 10 tab, the gore sign had been placed back in the spring of 2019.

 

Here's the previous overhead signage at the RI 146 North exit, after the Exit 10 gore sign had been placed.

A closeup of the gore sign with the new number for the RI 146A North exit from last summer.

The new North RI 146 reassurance marker following the North RI 146A exit.

The 1/2 mile advance sign for RI 114 with new exit number, 11, prior to old overhead sign not yet taken down in 2019.

The overhead exit sign prior to the ramp to RI 104, the bridge over RI 104 is under construction.

A closeup of the gore sign taken in the summer of 2019.

The 1-mile advance sign with new exit number, 13, for he Pound Hill Road exit.

This auxiliary sign for the Pound Hill Road exit has also been installed as well as....

The 1/2 mile advance sign, the last new exit sign going northbound until the fall of 2019.

The overhead sign at the ramp to Pound Hill Road was installed later in 2019.

There is a new Exit 13 gore sign at the Pound Hill Road off-ramp.

The first sign for the last RI 146 exit is a 3/4 mile advance sign in between ramps for Pound Hill Road.

The next sign is only 1/4 mile away, another ground mounted sign.

The auxiliary sign for the RI 146A exit is an overhead version, guess they thought drivers would really want to know how to get to RI 5 and 102.

The exit sign is an overhead version as well, the last exit on RI 146 North before the Massachusetts border.

A closeup view of the Exit 14 gore sign, put up in the spring of 2019.

Turning around and heading back south on RI 146

The Rhode Island Welcome Sign. Are you not welcomed if you do not stay in lane?

The 1-Mile advance sign with new exit number for RI 146A heading south, couldn't they make the route numbers a little bigger?

The auxiliary sign south bound is not an overhead sign.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign, some trees were cut down in front of it to help with visibility.

The overhead exit sign for RI 146A at milepost 14.6.

The new Exit 14 gore sign. Also appears to be new To RI 5/102 trailblazers along the ramp.

A closeup view of the ground mounted 1-Mile advance sign for Pound Hill Road right after the RI 146A off-ramp.

One of the new South RI 146 reassurance marker following the RI 146A on-ramp in North Smithfield.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign for Pound Hill Road with its new exit number.

A new auxiliary sign for Pound Hill Road, featuring the CVS District Center.

The overhead exit sign for Pound Hill Road and new gore sign at the off-ramp.

The new 1-Mile advance sign for the RI 104 exit and another reassurance marker.

The one new brown auxiliary attractions sign along RI 146 South.

The 1/2 mile advance in front of one of the new bridges built over RI 146 in recent years.

The exit sign for RI 104 is ground mounted, unlike the other exits further north.

The new gore sign for the RI 104 exit, now Exit 11.

The new 1/2 mile for the Sayles Road exit does not feature an exit number, possibly because the ramp is after the RI 146 freeway ends temporarily in North Smithfield.

The freeway ends at the merge with RI 146A South ahead. The recently placed sign indicates traffic should be in the left lane to access that route heading north.

The next sign is directed at both traffic on RI 146 headed for RI 146A North and merged traffic from RI 146A South looking for RI 146 North.

The Sayles Road 'exit' sign opposite the left lane ramp to North RI 146/RI 146A.

After the Sayles Road ramps there is a small sign advising traffic how to get to T.F. Green Airport.

The intersection with Reservoir Road just prior to the re-start of the freeway has received an Exit 9 gore sign despite a short ramp that ends at a stop sign trying to access RI 146 South.

The support post here has a sign with 3 new milepost based exit number, for I-295 South and North and RI 116.

There is a separate sign for I-295 South's new exit number on the support post prior to the ramp, it appears the sign for I-295 North is in more need of replacement.

The new number for I-295 North, hopefully the next sign will not say 'Boston, Ma.'

The gore sign for the I-295 North exit, placed in the spring of 2019.

The contractor has also placed most of the other new number gore signs along the RI 146 South from I-295 to at least RI 15, by end of June 2019:

The gore sign for the North RI 116 exit, Exit 7A.

The existing overhead sign and new exit number, 5, gore sign for the RI 123 exit. (also new exit number 6 gore sign at RI 246 exit, not photographed).

Hard to see, but the new exit number for the Twin River Road (and Casino) exit is 4B.

The new exit number gore sign for the RI 246/Old Louquisset Pike exit is 4A.

The last new exit number gore sign I photographed was at the RI 15 exit in North Providence, new Exit 2.

Images of new exit numbers and signs on RI 4 and RI 403 taken on March 17, 2019:

RI 4

The first new sign southbound with new exit number is the 1/4 advance sign for the RI 401 exit just after leaving I-95.

The sign at the exit ramp is also new with the Old Exit 8 tab, however, the pull through sign was not replaced.

The new gore sign with yellow old exit tab below for the RI 401 exit.

The 1-Mile advance sign for the RI 403/RI 402 exit was replaced although the exit number did not change.

The overhead 1/2 Mile advance sign was not replaced, the mile marker below is for Mile 8.

The 1 1/2 mile advance overhead sign was given the new exit number and old exit number tab. The new exit signs to come no longer include the south direction.

The new 3/4 mile advance sign for the RI 2 exit is ground mounted, as was the original sign (see photos below).

The new ramp sign is partially obscured by trees, hope they plan to take care of this problem before spring comes.

New gore sign with the new number, 5 and the old number, 6, tab on RI 4 South.

The exit number was changed on this auxiliary sign for the upcoming RI 2/RI 102 exit.

New 1-Mile advance sign for the RI 2/RI 102 exits, the text of the VMS sign beyond was special for St. Patrick's Day.

The 1/2 Mile advance duplicates the 1-Mile.

Another revised auxiliary sign, this for the commuter rail station in Wickford.

The new exit number gore sign for the first RI 2/RI 102 exit with the old exit tab below.

The new ground-mounted sign for the second RI 2/RI 102 exit.

The new gore sign with old exit number tab for the last exit on RI 4 South in Exeter.

If you doubt this is the last exit on RI 4 South, there's this sign for confirmation. Turning around and heading north...

The 1-Mile advance sign for the combined RI 2/RI 102 exit heading northbound.

This new tall blue services sign apparently is leaving room for additional logos in the future.

The new 1/2 mile advance sign for now Exit 3 is somewhat of a let down after the services sign.

The mile marker helps confirm the new exit number on the ramp sign for the RI  2 / RI 102 exit is correct.

The new exit number gore sign for the RI 2 / RI 102 exit on RI 4 North.

The new ground-mounted 1-mile advance sign with new exit number for the RI 2 exit on RI 4 North in East Greenwich.

The 1/2 mile was the same, and then the ramp sign with different length supports due to it being mounted on a hill.

The new gore sign for the RI 2 exit followed by the unchanged overhead 1-mile advance sign for the RI 403 exit (photos of new exit numbers on that route below).

The auxiliary sign for New England Tech sports the new exit number for the RI 401 exit ahead.

The new RI 401 exit 1-Mile advance sign features RI 2 and I-95 which should have a 'To' in front of them, and a North for I-95.

The new auxiliary sign has the new number, but would it be simpler just to say Division Street?

The new 1/4 mile advance sign is only for the RI 401 East exit.

The 1/4 mile overhead for the RI 401 exit does not have an old exit number tab and doesn't include RI 2.

The ramp sign for the RI 401 exit does have an old exit number tab and includes both RI 2 and I-95 shields.

The mile marker confirms that this last gore sign on RI 4 North has the correct exit number.

RI 403

RIDOT installed new exit signs with exit numbers, this the 1-mile advance for the West Davisville Road exit, now numbered Exit 2.

The new 1/2 Mile advance sign with the same text.

For the overhead ramp sign, a new exit number tab was placed on top of the existing sign.

The new Exit 2 gore sign, now no longer hidden behind the previous version (see photo below).

The 1/2 mile advance sign for the US 1 / Davisville Road exit is now redundant since a new tab was placed on the old sign which had exit in its text.

This advance sign could have taken advantage of the new exit number and said Exit 3 instead of Davisville Road.

Again, a new exit number 3 tab was placed on the existing overhead signs at the exit ramp to US 1 /Davisville Road.

The new exit number 3 gore sign and new overhead signage showing a split into Exit 3A (US 1) and Exit 3B (Davisville Road).

A closer view of gore sign at the split of the ramps for US 1 and Davisville Road eastbound, the last exit. Turning around...

The first exit sign westbound is the 1/2 mile advance for the TO US 1 / Post Road exit, a new Exit 3 tab placed on the existing sign.

Likewise for the overhead ramps sign, a new Exit 3 tab sits on top of the existing sign.

The new Exit 3 gore sign is also no longer hidden behind the old sign as it was in early December. This is the last numbered exit westbound.

The exit signs for RI 4 were not given numbers, this being a new sign for the RI 4 exit.

The existing signs at the RI 4 ramp split still are missing a shield for the RI 4 exit.

Earlier Photos taken in December 2018:

On December 10, 2018, RIDOT started placing new exit numbers, and in some cases, new signs, along RI 4 and RI 78, and adding exit numbers to RI 403 and the Airport Connector. These photos were taken early in the project on December 14:

RI 4

Seen through glare is one of 2 advisory signs informing drivers of the upcoming exit number change, this southbound after the I-95 ramp.

Sign posts have been placed for a new exit sign for the RI 2 South exit, new Exit 5.

The new Exit 5 gore sign for RI 2 South with Old Exit 6 tab sits behind the old Exit 6 sign waiting for the rest of the new signs to be installed.

New sign posts await a new Exit 4 1-Mile advance sign for RI 102 on RI 4 South.

Another set of support posts await a new numbered (3A/B) 1/2 mile advance sign for RI 102 on RI 4 South.

The sign contractor (Liddell Bros.) at work at the exit ramp to RI 102 North.

Another new gore sign with new number sitting behind former exit number sign to be removed when the remainder of the new exit signs for RI 102 are put up.

New sign posts await new Exit 3B ramp sign at RI 102 South exit off of RI 4 South.

The new gore sign for Exit 3B has also been installed behind the Exit 5B sign awaiting removal when all the RI 102 exit signs are put up. This is the last exit on RI 4 South. Turning around and heading back north, another advisory sign:

Another exit renumbering advisory sign at the start of the freeway portion at mile 2.

Newly installed support post await new Exit 3 sign for RI 102 exit in RI 4 North.

Though not completely visible, the new Exit 3 gore sign, with Old Exit 5 tab, is behind the soon to be removed exit sign for RI 102.

Contractors had not gotten around to placing new exit sign posts for this RI 2 1-Mile Advance sign on RI 4 North.

New Exit 5 gore sign with Old Exit 6 tab hidden behind Exit 6 sign to be removed when the rest of the RI 2 exit signs are updated. The RI 403 sign in the background will not be changed due to the exit number not changing.

This overhead will not change either, more on RI 403 below.

New support posts up for future 1-Mile Advance sign for RI 401 exit which will now be Exits 9A-B.

New posts also up for the 1/2 Mile Advance sign.

The Exit 9A gore sign with Old Exit 8A tab currently hidden by the soon to be removed Exit 8 gore sign for the RI 401 East exit northbound.

Similar scene with the new Exit 9B sign, hidden behind Exit 8B until all the new signs for the RI 401 exit are put up.

RI 403

As part of the same renumbering contract, RIDOT is putting up new exit numbers for the 4-mile RI 403 expressway, 2 new numbers heading east, and 1 west:

Starting eastbound, new exit signs will be going up.

New support posts had been placed for new 1-Mile Advance sign for West Davisville Road exit, to be numbered 2, on RI 403 East.

Presumably an Exit 2 tab will be placed on top the overhead sign in this location (there is no Exit 2 westbound).

The new Exit 2 gore sign is hidden behind the old sign, soon to be removed when the new exit signs go up eastbound.

No posts for the 1/2 mile advance sign for the US 1 exit, at least yet, or the sign will remain with a new Exit 3 A/B tab.

A new thin Exit 3 gore sign stands behind the old, soon to be removed exit sign at the beginning of the ramp to the US 1/Davisville Road exit.

The old gore sign mostly hides the new Exits 3A/3B sign at the ramp split for US 1 and Davisville Road. This is the last exit eastbound on RI 403. Turning around and heading west:

Presumably this overhead sign will get a Exit 3 tab in the near future.

The new Exit 3 gore sign is currently hidden by the old Exit sign until all the US 1 exit signage is updated. This is the only exit westbound.

I hope to return early in the New Year to see all the new signage and exit numbers up along Routes 4, 72, 403 and the Airport Connector.

RIDOT says they are working on the timetable to renumber the exits on I-95, I-195, RI 10, RI 24 and RI 37.

Images of the new exit numbers on I-295 and RI 99 (December 2017):

Photos of each of the exits taken on December 11, 2017 starting on I-295 at the Massachusetts border and moving south, just like the project. Signs may be from either direction of the highway:

New Exit 22/Old Exit 11:

The first, 1-Mile advance, sign is just over the Massachusetts border. The yellow old exit tab is above the revised exit number tab, which some sign engineers have expressed concern due to extra wind loading.

The 1/2 mile advance sign with a similar set up.

Before the exit there is an advisory sign about the exit renumbering project. How long after the project is finished will the sign be taken down?

For the exit itself, RIDOT uses cantilever overhead signage, and places the old exit number tab along the sign support.

The exit gore sign resembles that in the plan above with the yellow old exit tab below, somewhat obscured by the reflector sign at the gore itself.

The 1/2 mile advance sign northbound is overhead instead of ground mounted so it receives the old exit tab on the sign support.

The final new exit number sign heading into Massachusetts.

New Exit 20/Old Exit 10:

The one mile advance sign for the next exit, RI 122.

The 1/2 mile advance heading down hill toward the Blackstone River bridge.

The overhead exit ramp sign just prior to the bridge.

The 1/2 mile sign the opposite direction.

The project also included changing the exit numbers on the blue services signs.

The exit ramp sign with the yellow old exit tab on the cantilever sign support.

New Exit 18/Old Exit 9:

The 1-Mile advance sign is the only ground mounted sign heading south on I-295.

The 1/2 mile advance overhead sign has the old exit tab on the cantilever support. This is the first exit southbound with two off-ramps.

The overhead gantry holds the exit signs with the Old exit tab on the right support, and possibly hard to spot.

The new gore sign at the RI 146 North ramp, the new and old exit numbers continue the pattern of the new numbers being twice the old ones.

The 1/2 mile sign northbound is ground-mounted.

The existing brown attractions guide sign for Twin River Casino got a new pasted number that now lacks a space between Exit and the number.

 

The northbound ramp signage is similar to that southbound.

New Exit 15/Old Exit 8:

The one-mile advance sign heading south, the streak of old x 2= new is over.

This bridge-mounted exit sign for RI 7 South does not have a corresponding old exit number sign.

The 1-Mile Advance sign heading northbound (solar glare not a problem in this direction).

Exit numbers also change on the auxiliary signs, in this case for the RI 7 North exit.

These overhead signs have the yellow old exit tab on the right support.

Same case here with this bridge-mounted sign, no old exit number sign, though is one on gore sign in distance.

New Exit 12/Old Exit 7:

The 1-Mile advance sign for the US 44 exit southbound, yellow old exit number tab on top.

The 1/2 mile advance sign at the start of the long downhill run to the exit.

Blue services sign heading northbound with changed number for the US 44 exit.

The exit numbers were changed, the yellow old exit number sign put up, but the damaged sign not fixed approaching the US 44 ramps.

New Exit 9/Old Exit 6

The 1-Mile advance sign northbound is at the ramp for the previous exit. This is the only 1 mile sign without an accompanying old exit number tab.

The 1/2 mile advance southbound listing that there are 3 suffixed ramps for this exit (though only A and C southbound).

Gore sign at the ramp to US 6 West. As the numbers show, US 6 will no longer be Exit 6 on I-295.

The other exit southbound is now 9C with the former exit number on the support post.

Heading north there are 3 exit ramps for the US 6 exit, the middle is actually for I-295 South.

The C/D ramp sign heading north does not include the list of suffixed exits A-B-C.

The I-295 exit is now 9B. Schools had been let out, hence the buses on the C/D ramp.

The new number and signage at the US 6 West exit on I-295 North.

New Exit 7/Old Exit 5:

The 1-Mile advance for the RI Resource Recovery Industrial Park (RIRRIP?). Notice the old exit tab is on tab of the Exit 7 tab and not on the sign support.

Same case for the next (extra large) 1/2 Mile advance sign.

As was the case with North I-295, the 1-Mile advance sign at the exit ramp for Exit 7 does not feature an old exit number tab.

The 1-Mile Advance sign northbound also features the old exit number tab at the top of the sign.

New Exit 6/Old Exit 4:

The 1-Mile advance sign heading northbound with the old exit tab on top of a ground-level sign.

Here the yellow old exit number tab is back on the sign support post.

Exit 3 did not need to be changed. RIDOT did not place, like some other states have, a confusing sign saying new Exit 3 is old Exit 3:

New Exit 1B/Old Exit 2:

The 1/2 mile advance sign. This and old Exit 1 are the only standalone exits that get new suffixed numbers. This is not the end of the album, despite the truck message.

The overhead has signs for the last two exits. It appears that Rhode Island will not be using Exit 0 in that Exit 1, now 1A is south of the Mile 1 marker.

New Exit 1A/Old Exit 1:

The last exit sign with a new number southbound, the yellow old exit tab partially concealed by tree branches.

The last new gore sign with the old exit number tab prior to merging onto I-95 South in Warwick.

RI 99

As part of the I-295 Exit Renumbering Project, RIDOT also placed an exit number on the 1 previously unnumbered exit on the highway. The new number, you probably guessed, is 1. Here is the signage on RI 99 North:

Connecticut

The first Massachusetts exit sign with a milepost based number was put up on I-395 in February 2016. It was for a Connecticut exit though. After that state completed changing all of its numbers along I-395, a patch was put over the 1 mile sign southbound across the Massachusetts border changing the number from 100 to 53. This may be now the only one for a long time, given MassDOT's reluctance to start their planned exit number conversion project:

As for signage in Connecticut along I-395. Here's the first milepost exit sign crossing into that state southbound from Massachusetts for the same exit as above:

The signage at the East Thompson/Wilsonville exit ramp:

Image of the gore signage:

As the photos above show, only the first advance sign and the exit and gore sign get an additional tab indicating the old exit number. These will be left up for at least 2 years. Here are examples of other newly numbered exit signs on I-395 heading further south:

The US 6 exit includes the first new overhead signs with milepost based numbers:

Turning around and heading north, some more overhead signage:

New exit numbers were also installed on Secret CT 695, the stub of the Connecticut Turnpike that connects I-395 to US 6, here is a photo of new exit signage heading west toward I-395:

And here's signage with milepost based numbers on CT 2A:

Another new exit number sign on CT 2A:
