The renumbering of the exits on Interstate 91 here in Western Mass begins on Tuesday. MassDOT is in the process of converting all exit numbers on freeways to a milepost-based numbering system, per Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements. Work takes place on each corridor in the east to west or north to south direction. Work typically is completed during the overnight hours.

The following corridor will begin conversion tomorrow:

  • Corridor: Interstate 91
  • Approximate start date: Mar. 2
  • Approximate construction duration: 2 weeks
  • Location: Vermont border to the Connecticut border
  • Hours of operation: 8:00 PM – 5:00 AM

For more information on the project please visit the project’s website. If needed, a GIS shapefile with the specific numbering information is available on Massachusetts’ GeoDOT site.
