*Project continues (will continue) after original estimated date of
completion, MassDOT Project listings no longer include a completion date
as of July 2021.
**In March 2023, MassDOT mistakenly recategorized all under construction
sign contracts in the ProjectInfo site as '100% Complete'. The % listed
currently based on those numbers given previously. [While this was
corrected in May some recently started projects are still listed as
complete.]
***Despite MassDOT listing as project complete, two 1/2 mile advance
signs for the I-495 exit have not been installed as of 3/12/23 as well as
a new sign for the I-495 exit on I-95 South that was knocked down soon
after installation.
****As of June 2023 the project page lists the work as completed,
however there are still 5 signs that have yet to be placed as of 6/18/23.

Notes:
Information current as of September 1, 2023 obtained from MassDOT
Project Listings (ProjectInfo) for Structural Signing contracts under
construction or design, downloaded from:
https://www.mass.gov/service-details/massdot-project-info
For sign projects
planned between 2016 and 2020, MassDOT had contractors install exit tabs
and gore signs that can fit future milepost based numbers. MassDOT then
renumbered these exits to the milepost system under 3 contracts from
October 2020 to August 2021.
