Exit Renumbering Projects in New England (Updated 9/3/21)

Go to Photos (New for Massachusetts 9/23/21)

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. This site aims to summarize information, by state, on progress made in exit renumbering:

Connecticut (Updated 8/16/21)

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 I-395 and CT 2A have received numbers as part of a sign replacement contract 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. 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.

On August 21, 2020 ConnDOT 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: 

Meanwhile, work on upgrading signage and exit renumbering started on CT 9 as well as CT 72 in 2020. Projects advertised 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). 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):

UPDATE-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.

The contract for the remaining signs on CT 9 was advertised on August 12, 2020. This contract will include 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 to take place in 2021. 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, new signs have started to go up as of May 2021. 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:

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 on the contract is to be completed by 2022.¹

As far as renumbering the rest of Connecticut's highways, according to a memo from the Principal Transportation Engineer/ Planner of the Capital Region Council of Governments on September 13, 2019 ConnDOT plans to take until 2032 to convert all the state's exit numbers. After CT 2, et al., the next contract to be let would be the final one for CT 8 in the spring of 2022, which would include exit renumbering of the whole route and CT 25. I-691 would be next in 2022 or 2023 (the press release above made no mention of I-691 for 2022). After that the  plan is for I-291 and I-384 in 2026, I-91 in 2027, I-84 in 2028 and I-95 in 2029, the last scheduled would be CT 20 in 2032. There was no mention of  CT 15/Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkways, either an oversight or there is no plan to renumber that route.² Images of the I-295 exit number conversion are below.

Massachusetts (Updated 9/3/21)

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. 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. For a full description of MassDOT's project, go to my Mass. Interstates Exit List website.

New Hampshire (Updated 6/7/21)

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

Therefore, it doesn't appear New Hampshire will be renumbering its exits for a while.

Rhode Island (Updated 6/7/21)

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.

On August 16, 2019, the third renumbering project was awarded, for I-95 and the rest of the routes to be numbered: I-195, RI 24, RI 37.⁵ 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. Interstate 95 was to be last, the lowest bid for the renumbering contract was by Liddell Bros on June 19, 2020. The project was not due to start until at least December 2020. However, the project did not start and there has been no public announcement of why, but 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. As of June 2021 there has been no word as to when the work will proceed. For the latest news, go to the RIDOT Mile-marker Exit Number Project Site.

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 previous 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 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.

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...

The renumbered, yet to be replaced, 1/2 mile advance sign for MLK Jr. Blvd.

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).

Meanwhile, the renumbered signs at the MLK Jr. Blvd. exit await to be replaced, supports in place, new number gore sign in distance, and the correct number for the Route 122 exit.

Old EXIT 17 (EB)

Renumbered, but not yet replaced by a new sign, 1/4 mile advance sign for the Route 9 exit, 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 Route 9 exit sign, also not removed yet under the current sign replacement contract. Notice the right dual mile marker 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)

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.

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.

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 7 A/B

The 2 Miles advance sign for the Route 24 exit on I-495 South, inconsistencies with placement of Old Exit signs sometimes on 2 Miles, some times on 1 Mile advance signs continues.

The renumbered auxiliary sign for the Route 24 exits.

The exit sign for the Route 24 South exit on I-495 South is 1/2 mile from the Route 24 North exit.

The Route 24 North exit sign which the mile marker confirms has the correct new number.

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 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.

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 exit sign (and painted To I-290) with its new number.

The gore sign for the I-290 East exit at the end of Route 146 North.

Old EXIT 12

The first exit sign is also a 1/2 Mile advance which gets the Old exit sign.

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 1/2 Mile advance sign for the West Main Street exit headed north has the Old Exit 8 sign and marks where the freeway begins again.

The one advance for the Central Turnpike headed south just says Next Right and has the Old Exit 7 sign. Route 146 South stops being a freeway for about 1/4 of a mile after the sign and then again after the exit.

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.

EXITS 1 to 4 were not renumbered.

Old EXITS 6 and 7 (SB)

The renumbered overhead exit sign sharing the gantry with a Picnic Area sign. Turning around again...

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 1 Mile advance sign with the Old Exit 1 sign on the support, and a confirming Mile Marker just before

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.

Section 1-(Other side of) NH Border to Route 128

The 1/4 Mile advance for Route 286 shares a gantry with the 2 Mile advance sign for the I-495 South, along with yellow Old Exit signs on both sides. There is a 1-Mile advance sign before the last I-95 NH exit (not photographed).

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.

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:

Exits 1 and 2 - Not renumbered

The last two exits (Exit 1 southbound only) will keep their numbers.

Exit renumbering on Route 128 began on February 11 (postponed a day due to weather) in Gloucester and was completed on February 24. Here's are photos of the new exit number signage between Peabody and Beverly taken on February 28, or courtesy of David Noseworthy, where noted on February 15 and 22:

Old EXIT 29 (SB)

The 1 Mile advance for the last Route 128 mileage based exit southbound is paired with the 1/2 mile advance for Forest Street/Centennial Drive.

The 1/4 Mile advance sign for Lowell Street.

The exit sign for for Lowell Street shares a gantry with the 1 Mile advance for the Route 114 exit with its new milepost based number.

Heading south, the 1/4 Mile advance sign gets the Old Exit 26 sign and shares the gantry with the 1 Mile advance of Forest Street/Centennial Drive. Notice the Lowell Street sign was replaced during the last sign replacement contract, but the Exit 38 sign was not.

Old EXITS 25 A/B

The 1/4 Mile advance sign for Lowell Street.

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 exit sign headed south has a separately placed Old Exit 24 sign in front.

 

The gore sign headed south.

Old EXIT 23

While the exits were renumbered for the Route 35 exit heading north on the night of February 21, the advance sign does not have an exit tab, and thus didn't get the new number.

The overhead exit sign for Route 35 does have its new number.

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

Old EXIT 22

The 1/2 Mile advance sign for Route 62 in Beverly shares a gantry with the Route 35 exit sign headed south.

The overhead exit sign for Route 62 with the newly renumbered gore sign in the distance.

The 1/2 mile advance is the first sign for Route 62 headed south, so its gets the Old Exit 22 sign.

Old EXIT 21 (NB)

The 1/4 Mile advance sign for the Trask Lane exit in Beverly gets the Old Exit 21 sign.

The 'exit' sign for the Trask Lane exit with newly renumbered gore sign behind.

Old EXIT 21 (NB)

The 1/2 Mile advance sign for the Conant Street exit southbound gets the Old Exit 21 sign. This sign was also not changed out during the last sign replacement project.

The 1/2 Mile advance sign for the Route 1A exits in Beverly gets the Old Exit 20B-A sign, the letters were assigned backwards when the number system was changed from E-W to A-B.

An auxiliary sign for Ipswich for the Route 1A North exit.

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).

Heading southbound there is an auxiliary sign for Ipswich with the new milepost based number. 

Old EXIT 13

The first advance sign for the Concord Street exit is for 1/2 Mile, so it gets the Old Exit 13 sign.

The exit sign and newly numbered gore sign in the distance.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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 exit sign for the Route 6A exit with the ramp out of sight at the top of the hill.

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.

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 1/2 mile advance sign with its appropriate milepost number based on the mile marker.

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.

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

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, back to heading west:

The next sign is for the Route 105 exit, old Exit 2, 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.

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 in Fairhaven 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.

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.

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 also does not have a old exit number sign, this was placed on the 1/2 mile advance (no photo).

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.

The 1-Mile for the Faunce Corner/Faunce Corner Mall Roads exit, old Exits 12 B-A.

Signage at the exit for Faunce Corner Road.

The 1-Mile advance for the Reed Road exit in Dartmouth, now Exits 19 B / A.

The signs at the first exit ramp. Now more than 1/2 way between Wareham and the RI border.

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?

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.

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.

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.

The 1-Mile advance for the former Exit 3 in Swansea.

The 1-Mile advance for the last renumbered exit, Route 136.

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.

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.

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).
