Exit Renumbering Projects in New England (Updated 8/28/22)

Go to Photos (New for I-95 in RI, 9/21/22)

Massachusetts announced on November 18, 2019 that it will start converting its exits to a milepost-based system in the late summer of 2020, moved to mid-October in September 2020, work started on October 18 and should be completed by the end of August 2021. A project that was to have started in 2016 but was postponed. Work on the last two routes to be renumbered, I-395 and I-290 was completed on August 20, 2021. Other New England states in the meantime have continued to move forward, or will be in the near future, the exception being Maine which converted in 2004. Rhode Island plans to complete the renumbering of all its highways, with the completion of I-95, in September. This site aims to summarize information, by state, on progress made in exit renumbering:

Connecticut (Updated 8/3/22, go to Updated section)

In Connecticut the move will be gradual, possible taking more than a decade. Exit numbers will be changed only after new exit signs are up along an entire stretch of roadway. So far, only projects related to I-395 and CT 2A have have been completed, exit numbers changing in 2015 and 2016. The next route to receive numbers was to be CT 8 but the final sign replacement contract let in September 2018 still had sequential numbers. A ConnDOT official was sent an e-mail by a member of the AARoads Forum. His response was that the CT 8/25 renumbering will be put off to around 2022 (Fall). In July 2020 ConnDOT announced an upcoming November 18, 2020 advertised contract to replace most of the aluminum sheet based regulatory, mile marker and route signing on the state's limited access highways. Several routes, such as CT 2 and 9 and I-691 were not included, implying those signs will be updated by a separate contract in the near future. 

Projects advertised earlier on August 7, 2019 included all of CT 72 and CT 9 North of Middletown. Since signs along the entire length of CT 9 were not to be replaced, that route's exit numbers did not change. Number changes would have to wait for the remaining CT 9 contract 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 started later in 2020. CT 72 exit numbers will be changed, increasing east to west from New Britain (opposite of current sequential numbering). Here is the plan for the new exit sign and number for the I-84 East exit, which will be Exit 3:

Here are a couple other sign plans at the eastern (southern) and western (northern end):

The contractor started putting up the new exit number signs in May 2021. Here's a link to photos of the first signs put up for new Exit 2, Old Exit 7, CT 372. Though if you go further down the page you will see the contractors have put up overlays with the old exit numbers on the signs. As of the summer of 2022, most of the exit signs on CT 72 had been changed, but the new numbers remain hidden behind sequential number overlays.

Meanwhile, on August 21, 2020 CTDOT issued a press release regarding its next round of sign replacements and exit renumbering that will occur 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 will 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 to be let on September 8 and released files which contained sign plans showing the new numbers, examples of which are below: 

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 has been slow. New signs started to go up as of May 2021 but 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 plans cited above. In the new list both I-95 and I-84 are to receive 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 is still substantially incomplete in the summer of 222. This Flickr site by Jay Hogan, has the latest photos. Here are some of the plans for CT 9 under the new contract. First, where only the exit number tabs will be replaced with the new numbers on signs already installed under the first CT 9 contract,  Here's a link to the new CT 175 exit sign in Newington.

According to the plans, the I-84 exits will not receive an exit number. The contract will replace all exit signage south of Middletown and renumber the exits. Here are some plans for this part of the project, the I-95 exit also no longer received a number in the plans so the CT 154 now will be Exit 1, Exit 3 will retain the same number:

Work on the contract is supposed to be completed by 2022, however work has stalled on the contract on southern end of the roadway which includes the exit renumbering. As of early April only a few ground mounted signs with old and new exit numbers have appeared between Middletown and I-84 (photos below), it is now questionable if the project will be completed this year.¹

CTDOT in 2021 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. The plans did not have, as was expected, additional exit renumbering plans for CT 25. 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, currently there is none. This has led to speculation that CT 25 is to be truncated to this exit instead of its currently running concurrently with CT 8 to I-95. 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.

Future Exit Renumbering

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: 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:

- CT-9: 2022 (Currently in Construction – State Projects 0007-0189/0171-0425 & 0172-0473)

- I-691: 2023 (Currently in Construction – State Project 0079-0244)

- CT-2: 2024 (Currently in Construction – State Project 0172-0490)

- CT-8 (To be advertised 7/20/22), CT-15, I-291: 2025

- I-384: 2026

- I-91: 2027

- I-84: 2028

- I-95: 2029

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.

Massachusetts (Updated 7/26/22)

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.

New Hampshire (Updated 1/7/22)

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 October 2021, NHDOT released its draft new 10 year plan for 2023 to 2032. Again there was a contract for exit renumbering (40915) with  preliminary engineering to take place in 2023 and the project to start in 2024 at a total cost of $926,804.⁵ Guess what, the draft plan was submitted to the governor's office and the new draft came out in early December, the only project turned down was exit renumbering.⁶

Rhode Island (Updated 9/15/22)

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 have now caused the project to be delayed by at least one year. At the end of 2021 the fourth contract remains to be started for the one remaining route yet to have its exits renumbered, I-95. Interstate 95 was to have its exits renumbered starting in December 2020, by the lowest bidder for the renumbering contract, Liddell Bros., Inc. 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 $925,504.⁷ 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 September 15, the first 8 exits had had their numbers changed. 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 37.⁸ 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:

CT 9 Photos, taken 4/2/22

Examples of old and new exit number signs:

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.

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 9/23/21)

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 be mile markers that replace the I-395 shield with text such as 'Exit Mile.'

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.

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.

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).*

Old EXITS 19-20 (EB)

The renumbered 1/2 mile advance for the exit ramp to both I-190 North and Burncoat Street exits, still not replaced as of the end of August.

Also not replaced the renumbered 1/4 Mile advance sign for the I-190 North and Burncoat Street exit, the new auxiliary sign for Route 12 is because the new sign will 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.

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.

Jump to Chelmsford and Further North Photos (New 7/7/21)

Work to renumber I-495 exits was done in four sections from south to north, due to coordination with ongoing sign replacement contracts between Bolton and Lowell. Work on the first section, from Route 28 to I-95 in Mansfield started on May 16. Work was supposed to take 5 weeks for the entire route. MassDOT announced that work had been completed only after 4 weeks, but several exits still had old number signs, as of July 22 they still haven't listed the route as complete on their Exit Renumbering website.

Exits 1 and 2 - No Renumbering

The 1 Mile advance sign for the Route 58 North exit, the first sign heading south without a change in exit number. (The sign is misleading in that Route 58, according to signage on the route itself, continues south from I-495 South and ends at Route 28.

Old EXIT 3

The renumbered 1 Mile advance for Route 28, with Old Exit 3 sign, just after a South I-495 Mile 9 marker.

The next set of signs features the renumbered 1/2 Mile advance for US 44 and the 3/4 Mile advance for Route 18.

The exit sign the US 44 exit is the one that features the Old Exit 6 sign, this couldn't be put on one post of one of the previous gantries?

Old EXITS 12 and 11 (SB)

The 1 Mile advance for the two separate Route 140 exits, along with the Old Exits 12-11 sign on I-495 South. MassDOT apparently decided to keep the two exit numbers, but since they are connected by a C/D ramp, they could have given them one number and A and B ramps, this would have made it consistent with the one number for MA 140 heading north.

An example of one of the ground mounted auxiliary signs on I-495 South not having been renumbered, the other one was for commuter rail at the Route 105 exit.

Truck barely getting under the renumbered 1 Mile advance for the Route 111 exit in Harvard with its Old Exit 28 sign. Below is an orange contractor tag for the future site of the new 1 Mile advance sign. The new signs had the old exit number placed over the new one assuming they would go up before the exits were renumbered. Looks like there's been a delay with the sign replacement (being done by the same contractor as the exit renumbering, you would think they could have coordinated this better).

The renumbered exit sign for Route 111 with gore sign beyond, the truck made it under this sign as well. Heading south...

The renumbered stacked gore signs for US 3 North and the Lowell Connector. It appears they forgot to add the old exit signs to this exit. Turning around and heading south...

The combination Gas/Food blue Services sign is between the 1 and 1/2 Mile advance signs for Woburn Street, and is lacking the new exit number for both. Guess there's no decent place in Lowell to get food and get gas.

The next advance sign, for 1/4 mile does have the new number and is mounted on the Boylston Street bridge in Lowell.

Work to renumber exits on I-93 started in Boston the week of May 2 and moved northward. Work was to proceed in 2 sections, Exits 13 to 27 (Freeport Street to US 1 in Boston) and then Exits 28 to 48 (Somerville to Methuen). Work was completed the evening of May 20.

EXITS 1 to 12 - No Renumbering

MassDOT has explained not renumbering these exits due to their matching existing mileposts. This is not completely correct. While Exits 6 to 12 match up, Exits 1-5 do not. While not changing exits 1 and 2 is a practical solution despite being within 1 mile of I-95, Exits 3 to 5 could have been changed to better reflect the closest mile marker. If it was up to me Exit 3, Ponkapoag Road, would have become 3A, Exit 4 (Route 24), Exit 3B, and the Route 28 exits would have changed from 5 A/B to 4 A/B. For photos of these exits, visit my I-93 in Mass Photo Gallery.

No Exits 21-22

Exit 22 was the former South Station exit removed as part of the Big Dig project.

Old Exit 23 (NB)

The utility of this Next Exits sign is questionable since the numbers are now consecutive, prior to renumbering it read Exits 23 and 26, another legacy of the Big Dig project.

The next sign is still remains useful, though it might have caused temporary problems for Encore Boston casino goers, since that exit would not be renumbered until the morning of May 10.

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.

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 exit sign and gore sign beyond.

Check out other Photos of I-84 West Exit Renumbering on Jay Hogan's Flickr page.

Exit renumbering on I-95 began on February 25 on the first of 4 separate sections. Work started in New Hampshire since that is where the exit signs for the Route 286 (and the first advance sign for I-495) were located. Since NH is not likely to have milepost based exit numbering for awhile (see above), these will likely be the only signs of this type in the Granite State for a while. Work proceeded further south in the next couple weeks, reaching the southern end of the second section, US 20 in Waltham on March 16.

The Recreation Road exit number gore sign has been replaced with one with text due and an Old Exit 23 sign.

The overhead signage at the ramp to I-90/Mass Pike. MassDOT decided to keep the exit order, despite the MA 30 bridge crossing I-95 before I-90, so the numbers southbound and northbound are in 39B before 39A.

Old EXITS 20 A/B

The 1 Mile advance sign headed south for the Route 9 exit has an incorrect exit tab, which should have said Exits 20 B-A and now should say Exits 36 B-A, the Old Exit sign is incorrect because of that.

The 1/2 Mile and exit signs are correct, here at the ramp to Route 9 West.

The gore sign at the ramp to Route 9 West. Notice the mile marker behind it says 37. The next exit, Highland Avenue/Kendrick Street stretches between miles 35 and 36, but has been given 1 number, 35, for simplicity, pushing 36 to the Route 9 exit.

The renumbered exit only ramp sign for the Route 9 East exit. Prior to the I-95 Add-a-Lane Project this was where the southbound roadway went from 4 to 3 lanes.  Turning around and heading back north starting at Highland Avenue...

Old EXITS 15 A/B

The renumbered 1 Mile advance for the US 1 and Route 1A exits heading north (and south on US 1) shares a gantry with the 1/2 mile advance for East Street/Canton Street. The distance seems a little too short for a mile, especially given the sign below:

The distance after the East Street/Canton Street is more than 1/4 Mile to the Route 1A exit ramp, based on the renumbered 1/4 advance sign, with the Old Exit 15A sign affixed to the support.

Heading northbound:

The I-93(/US 1) North exit was the last I-95 exit to be renumbered, on the morning of April 22. Here's the 2 Miles advance sign.

The 1 Mile advance sign has the Old Exit 12 sign in this direction as well. Only the I-95 shield on this sign has been updated. These signs are not covered under the I-95 sign replacement contract south to Rhode Island because they are to be replaced when the interchange is reconstructed, that plan is currently on hold.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign does have two new interstate shields along with the new exit number.

The last sign renumbered at the I-93 North exit ramp, and renumbered gore sign beyond.

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 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.

Exit renumbering on Route 24 began a day later than advertised, on Wednesday night, January 6, 2021 starting at the first southbound exit, Route 139 in Stoughton. Exits were renumbered down to Fall River, then the contractors made their way back north. Work was completed the night of January 19.  Photos start at the northern end of the route and work southward.

Old EXIT 21 A/B (NB)

The recently placed 2-mile arrow-per-lane sign got its new numbers the night of January 19.

They have yet to replace the 1-Mile advance under the current sign replacement project, which received the yellow Old Exits 21 B-A sign, but the exit numbers were changed.

The auxiliary sign for MA 3 for the I-93 North the exit, had its number were changed.

Same story for the 1/2 Mile advance, old sign but new exit numbers.

The numbers on the left auxiliary sign for the I-93 South exit, look a little too large, and off center.

The signs at the I-93 South/North exit split, since there are no gore signs the Old Exit signs are on the supports.

Earlier view showing new sign behind the old one, this lasted for about 3 months. The numbers were changed both on the old sign and the new one for the I-93 South exit, just behind it.

Old EXIT 20 A/B

The 1-Mile advance sign with the yellow Old Exits 20 B-A sign on the support post, the first Route 24 exit sign to be renumbered.

The overhead signs with the new numbers plus the gore sign in the distance with the yellow Old Exits 19 B-A sign below at the Central Street exit.

The VMS announcing the exit renumbering is not before the Route 139 exit but prior to the Harrison Blvd. exit.

The overhead exit sign for the Harrison Blvd. exit, in front of a post holding a traffic camera.

Heading north with exits renumbered the night of January 18:

Old EXIT 15

The 1-Mile advance sign for Route 104 heading south into the sun, the current 1-Mile sign heading north is right behind a I-495 exit sign, see below.

The exit sign for Route 104 heading south shares the gantry with a I-495 North 1/2 mile advance sign.

Heading north, the auxiliary sign for Bridgewater State University sports a new number.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign still has not been replaced under the still ongoing sign improvement contract, but has a new number.

The new exit and gore signs with their new numbers.

Old EXITS 14 A/B

The 2 Miles advance sign heading north, not accompanied by a yellow old exit sign.

The 1 Mile advance sign also not accompanied by an old exit sign.

No yellow sign for the  1/2 Mile advance sign either, we're running out of signs.

Signage at the I-495 South exit, the gore sign at least has the yellow Old Exit 14A sign.

Here's the  1/4 Mile advance sign for I-495 South currently blocking the 1 Mile advance sign, with a new number for the Route 104 exit.

The exit sign for I-495 sign has not been replaced yet, and has a new exit number with old button copy numerals for I-495.

Bonus photo of the 2-sign cantilever southbound with its new numbers, and the yellow old exit sign for this direction.

The 1/2 Mile advance headed south into Freetown.

Old Exit 8B

The 1/2 mile advance for the Innovation Way northbound has the Old Exit 8 B sign, due to the 1-Mile advance sharing a gantry at the Exit 8 off-ramp, see below.

The exit sign northbound with the new exit number without a letter needed anymore.

The exit sign southbound, the left side of the gantry had a 1 1/2 mile advance sign for the next exit, Airport Road / North Main Street, but that has been taken down.

Old EXIT 8A

The renumbered 1/2 mile advance sign, these signs have not been replaced, and all that was done was remove the A from the exit tab. This exit was 8 before the Innovation Way exit was built. The 1-Mile advance sign for the Route 79 exit maintains its existing number, as do all the rest of the exits along Route 24 to the Rhode Island border.

The signs at the exit are new, and instead of removing the A, an overlay, hard to see, was placed over it to change the exit number. The gore sign was revised the same way.

The overhead signage northbound at the Airport Road/North Main Street exit, here it appears the A, at least on the gore sign, was simply removed to change the exit number.

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.

A combined guide/brown recreational sign for the Route 6A exit with the new exit number.

An all important Tourist Information sign with the new exit number.

The gore sign for the Route 6A exit with the last new exit number put up eastbound.

The renumbering of exit signs along the Mass Pike/I-90 began on December 13, 2020. Work did not start at the eastern end, but rather at I-95/Route 128 in Weston and headed west. Work concluded around January 15, 2021 after renumbering had made it to the NY border and back east as far as the Allston-Brighton-Cambridge exit, and the I-93 exit in Boston, and then back west to Weston as of January 5. The last exits to be renumbered were the Prudential Center, South Boston and Logan Airport exits the week of January 10. The photos will go East to West based on the old exit number:

Old EXIT 26 (EB)

This exit was renumbered as of January 17:

The number in the exit tab does not look as good as the illustration MassDOT made when first publicizing the exit renumbering project:

 

Overhead signage in the Ted Williams Tunnel for the Logan Airport exit, the number has been changed but the overlay is too reflective to see in this photo.

Old EXITS 25/24 (WB)

Exit signs heading west have been renumbered as of January 9:

Here's my attempt to capture the first advance sign in the Ted Williams Tunnel, the new exit number overlay shows up more brightly than the surrounding sign.

Here's the last advance sign after leaving the Ted Williams Tunnel, the new exit number overlay has much smaller numbers than the original tab to fit two 3-digit numbers.

The signs at the ramp portal, notice the yellow old exit number sign under the gore sign omits the word exit, other examples to come.

The signs at the ramp split, with another yellow sign below the gore sign omitting the word exit.

Old EXIT 25 (EB)

The exit signs were renumbered between January 9 and 15:

The 1-mile advance sign, bridge mounted, next to it a Hazardous Cargo advisory sign now with a rather small exit number.

The exit numbers in the Fort Point Channel tunnel have for the South Boston exit also have been changed but, again, the overlay is too bright to show the number in this image.

Old EXIT 24 (EB)

The yellow advance signs warning of curves on the exit ramps did not have their numbers changed until January 15.

The green advance signs did have new exit numbers, as with these 1/2 mile advance signs.

The signs at the exit ramp.

Here's a MassDOT photo posted on Twitter with a closer look showing numbers being changed at the I-93 exit:

 

*Here are new photos capturing the new exit numbers along the I-93 and South Station exit ramps:

The signs at the split of the ramps to South Station and I-93.

The signs at the split of the ramps for I-93 North and South.

The gore signs at the split of the ramps to I-93 North and South, notice there is no space between 134 and the letter on the top sign.

Old EXIT 22 (EB)

For the Prudential Center/Copley Square exit, the overhead signs were renumbered between January 9 and 15:

The button-copy 1 1/2 Mile advance now has an exit number not matching the one on the Old Exit sign.

Unlike the sign see the previous week:

The exit number has been change on the sign approaching the exit ramp, but too bright to see the number in this photo too. The gore sign seen in the distance had been changed the week before.

Old EXIT 20 (WB)

The advance signs for the exit still do not have exit tabs, so no exit numbers, nor and Old Exit 18 sign, the U-Turn notification sign, however, has gotten a new number.

The small sign at the exit gore was renumbered along with an almost as large Old (Exit) 20 sign below.

Prior to the Allston-Brighton-Cambridge exit is this auxiliary sign for the I-93 and South Boston exits on I-90 East which had its new numbers installed after all the exits were renumbered:

Here it was back in January with the old exit numbers still listed:

Old EXIT 18 (EB)

The 1-Mile advance paired with a VMS, the Old Exit 18 sign on the right support post.

This auxiliary paddle sign for Fenway Park does have the new exit number.

The overhead signs at the ramp for Allston-Brighton-Cambridge and the pull through with Boston as a control city, guess Allston-Brighton  doesn't count as Boston.

Between the Allston-Brighton and Prudential Center exits there is a small sign for the Encore Boston Harbor Casino in Everett, which is posted on the right support for the toll gantry and includes a Left banner, like the auxiliary sign for I-93 and South Boston, this was one of the last signs given a new number:

Old EXIT 17

The 1-Mile advance sign heading west on I-90, the first instance of the old exit tab being high on the sign support.

The overhead sign at the exit ramp, where the Pike narrows to 3-lanes before heading under the hotel.

A closeup of gore sign. Guess they decided to use thin numbers on the existing sign instead of a new sign with wider numbers.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign heading east. This exit is closer to Mile 128, did they use 127 because they thought some drivers would think this is the exit to Route 128?

The bridge mounted exit sign. Given the traffic backup, perhaps some drivers would think this is Route 128.

Old EXIT 16 (WB)

The unusual 1 1/4 Miles bridge-mounted advance sign for the Route 16 exit, not longer to have a corresponding exit number, notice the Old Exit 16 sign is mounted below.

The next sign is the 1/4 Mile advance sign just before the Washington Street bridge.

The unusual 1 1/4 Miles bridge-mounted advance sign for the Route 16 exit, not longer to have a corresponding exit number, notice the Old Exit 16 sign is mounted below.

Old EXITS 15 A/B (WB)

Photos taken westbound between Weston and I-495 on December 20 and eastbound on January 9. 

The first sign for the Weston exits is 1 1/2 miles before, notice the Old Exit sign is not on the support.

The Old Exits 15 B-A sign appears with the 1-Mile advance sign, notice the placement near the top of the support, unlike on other renumbered routes (below). Different contractor with different standards?

 The last of the advance signs. The three digit and 1 letter fit well into the exit tabs.

The overheads with the new exit numbers at the site of the former Weston Toll Plaza.

The number on the gore sign, however, looks a little crooked, and a little too far to the left.

The last overhead sign for the I-95/Route 128 exit, there's no longer any mention of 128 on any signs on either direction along the Pike.

Old EXIT 14 (EB)

The 2-Miles advance diagrammatic sign for the I-95 (Route 128) exit. When this sign was first put up, reportedly it had the exit number for the Route 30 exit, 117, which has been fixed.

The auxiliary sign for Route 30 apparently also had the number for the previous Route 30 exit, 117, also fixed.

The old exit tab for the I-95 exit is also on the 1-Mile, not 2-Miles advance sign. The number fits well within the 3-digit designed exit tab.

The overhead signs at the I-95 (Route 128) exit. Again the gore sign was not replaced so one is left with thin 3-digit exit numbers.

Old EXIT 13

The 1-Mile advance, here the first sign has the Old Exit 13 sign, again high on the support post.

The blue auxiliary hospital sign has been updated prior to the 1/2 mile advance sign.

The exit sign with the new number. Traffic reports call this the Natick interchange, but as the town line sign shows, it is actually in Framingham.

The 1/2 mile advance sign for the Route 30 exit heading east. Not known if one of these exits signs had the number for the I-95 exit for a short while.

Old EXIT 12

The first new exit number sign for Route 9 is an auxiliary sign for Framingham State University.

The 1-Mile advance sign with the three digits fitting well into the exit tab.

The overhead at exit ramp.

A closeup of the gore sign for Route 9, again the number is somewhat crooked, and given the digits, could be spaced out a little more.

The 1/2 mile advance sign for the Route 9 exit heading east. The auxiliary sign for the Park and Ride lot before this sign still supported the old Exit 12 number.

Old EXIT 11A

The first sign, the 2-Miles advance for I-495, again no old exit number tab here.

The auxiliary sign for the I-495 exit, here the exit number could have been a little smaller.

The 1-Mile advance has the old exit tab, soon to be no more separate alphabet exits on the Pike.

The overheads at the I-495 exit ramp, there are two down arrows because a second lane begins after the sign.

The closeup of the gore sign when leaving the Pike, the exit number could have been pushed a little farther to the right.

The 2-Miles advance sign heading east, the Old Exit 11A sign is again on the 1-Mile advance.

The 1-Mile advance has the old exit tab, soon to be no more separate alphabet exits on the Pike.

Old EXIT 11

The 1-Mile advance sign with the Old Exit 11 sign near the top of the support post.

The overhead exit sign with the Exit 96 gore sign in the distance.

The 1-Mile advance sign heading east.

An auxiliary blue Hospital sign with the new milepost based exit number, not quite centered on the sign.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign, even with milepost numbers, I guess its good to know the I-495 exit is 10 miles away.

The 1-Mile advance sign heading east, notice the number doesn't fit in very well on the exit tab this direction.

Old EXIT 10A

The 1-Mile advance sign with its old exit number sign, notice the extra space on the right of the exit tab now since there's no need for an A.

The overhead exit sign, the new number is better centered here, but...

You would think they would have tried harder to center the exit number on the gore sign. Similar problems heading east...

The 1-Mile advance sign with its old exit number sign.

The exit sign, the number again slightly better centered than the 1-Mile sign.

But the gore sign again leans a little too much to the left.

Old EXIT 10

The 2-Miles advance sign for the Auburn exit with the two interstates that will share mileage for their exit numbers, the Old Exit sign will have to wait.

The blue Attractions sign for the Auburn exit with a new exit number, but still waiting for something attractive.

A brown cultural site sign with the new number.

Finally, the a Worcester Airport auxiliary, with the new number and an I-290 shield.

The 1-Mile advance sign with the Old Exit 10 sign.

The auxiliary sign for Route 12 designed when the original exit sign was to only have I-290 and I-395, apparently no one told the contractor the sign was no longer needed after the overhead sign redesign.

The overhead sign at the exit ramp. On my next trip I got some photos headed east:

The renumbered 2-Miles advance heading east.

The still empty attractions sign, with its new number, still apparently nothing to see in Worcester.

The 1/2 mile advance which unlike other 1/2 Mile Exit Only signs on the Pike, has the distance.

The exit sign, still with two arrows for the one exit lane.

Old EXIT 9

Photos taken on April 4:

The US 20 auxiliary sign now with its new number, leaning to the right.

The renumbered Old Sturbridge Village sign, also with a similar off-balance problem.

The 1 Mile advance diagrammatic sign, the Old Exit 9 sign at the top of the right support.

The 1/2 Mile advance just before entering the town for which the interchange is named.

The directionless I-84 shield at the exit ramp with its new number.

Check out this iCloud Album for additional photos.

Here's a traffic camera photo showing what appears to be an Old Exit sign below the gore for the I-291 exit in Springfield, meaning exit renumbering has gotten that far west as of December 21:

As indicated above, the exits have not been renumbered east of I-95/Route 128, here's one of the unique signs in Boston that will soon have a new number:

This is why no new exit tab appeared in this MassDOT traffic camera photo taken beyond Commonwealth Avenue on Dec. 16:

When these signs were put up a couple years ago without exit tabs I thought that this may have to do with the upcoming exit renumbering, turned out not to be the case.  The rest of the photos were taken later in July 2021:

Old EXIT 8

The overhead exit sign for Route 32 heading west in Palmer.

The renumbered gore sign for the Route 32 exit.

Old EXIT 7

The first renumbered sign for the Route 21/Ludlow exit is this blue Lodging services sign.

The second renumbered sign for the Route 21/Ludlow exit is an auxiliary for Park and Ride.

The 1 mile advance sign for the Route 21 exit with its Old Exit 7 sign attached.

The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance sign, between trucks.

The exit sign and new number gore sign in the distance on I-90/Mass Pike West.

Old EXIT 6

The 2 Miles advance sign for the I-291 exit, as typical for the Mass Pike, the Old Exit sign will have to wait.

A renumbered combination brown and green auxiliary sign for the I-291 exit.

Another renumbered auxiliary sign for both the I-291 and I-90 exits on top and the I-291 and Route 33 exits on the bottom.

The renumbered 1 Mile advance sign with the Old Exit 6 sign.

An all brown historic site for I-291 (had to post this since it has to do with Shay's Rebellion in 1787 which was put down by Hingham's own General Benjamin Lincoln).

The renumbered 1/2 Mile advance sign for the I-291 exit.

The renumbered exit sign with gore sign and Old Exit 6 sign attached in distance. This gantry was one of the last put up during the I-90 sign replacement project, it replaced one that had a 2 mile advance for the MA 33 exit on the left which had a green CT style shield.

Old EXIT 5

The renumbered 1 Mile advance for the Route 33 exit with the Old Exit 5 sign high on the support.

A renumbered green auxiliary sign for the Route 33 exit for those seeking commercial or military air travel.

The 1/2 Mile advance for the Route 33 exit.

Old EXIT 4

The first renumbered sign for the I-91/US 5 exit is yet another airport auxiliary.

Another renumbered auxiliary sign for UMass Amherst, or is it the other way around?

This US 5 auxiliary seems redundant since the route is in the advance signs, and are you going to take US 5 to Hartford? Plus there's another UMass listing.

The renumbered 1 Mile advance sign for the I-91/US 5 exit and the Old Exit 4 sign.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign just before crossing the Connecticut River.

The renumbered exit sign for I-91/US 5 and gore sign in the distance. For this exit, turning around...

The renumbered 2 Miles advance sign for the I-91/US 5 exit, since not photographed heading west.

A renumbered attractions sign for the I-91/US 5 exit, a couple with brown backgrounds.

The exit signage heading east.

The renumbered gore sign for the I-91/US 5 exit and Old Exit 4 sign below.

Old EXIT 3

The first renumbered sign for the US 202/Route 10 Westfield exit is this auxiliary for Westfield State University.

The renumbered 1 Mile advanced sign and yellow Old Exit 3 sign high on support.

A renumbered blue Lodging sign for the US 202/Route 10 Westfield exit.

This renumbered sign for the Westfield Barnes Airport is partially hidden by the height advisory sign for the next bridge.

The 1/2 mile advance for the US 202/Route 10 Westfield exit includes the distance for the next exit, given that it's 30 miles away.

The renumbered exit sign for US 202/Route 10.

The gore sign for the US 202/Route 10 Westfield exit and Old Exit 3 sign below.

Old EXIT 2

Image eastbound taken from Google Maps Street View cameras in June 2022:

The 1 Mile advance sign with high post mounted Old Exit 2 sign to right.

The first of several auxiliary signs in Lee with the new exit number.

The next auxiliary sign, needed because there is no West Stockbridge exit in this direction.

The brown 'The Berkshires' sign with its new exit number.

A blue Attractions services sign with a very tiny new exit number. Now it becomes interesting...

The 1/2 Mile advance sign but with the old Exit 2 listed. My theory is that this was the last new sign put up as part of the I-90 sign replacement project in the spring of 2021 (there was no existing 1/2 mile advance that this replaced) after the exit renumbering project was over. All the signs were manufactured with the old number. Why this wasn't noticed at the time, or fixed in the year since is unknown.

The overhead exit sign gore sign and its Old Exit 2 sign below in the distance.

Old EXIT 1 (WB)

The renumbered 1 Mile advance for the last Mass Pike exit, again a high mounted Old Exit 1 sign.

The renumbered brown sign for both Tanglewood and 'The Berkshires,' where you have 2 options for the latter in this direction.

Like the 1/2 mile advance sign for US 20 headed east, there was no previous version to replace in this direction. Unlike US 20, the exit number is correct.

The last renumbered exit sign headed west.

The renumbered gore sign with its Old Exit 1 sign below. How long will it be before the NY Thruway has its exits renumbered? For now the next exits to have a milepost based number on I-90 is in Pennsylvania.

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.

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 very wide gantry with the smallish exit signs at the ramp to new Exit 31 B, new gore sign in distance. Now heading back east...

*The renumbered 3/4 and 1/2 mile advance signs for the two exits with mile marker corroborating the new exit number.

*The renumbered bridge mounted exit sign for the North Rochester exit.

Old EXIT 18

Now in Fairhaven headed west and the renumbered 1-Mile advance for the short Route 240 South expressway.

Another bridge mounted exit sign for new Exit 29 with newly renumbered gore sign seen in distance. Turning around...

*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.

*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:
