Notes: Information current as of February 14, 2025 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.
