The next phase of the highway exit number conversion project will begin next week. After Interstate 91 exit were re-numbered recently, Route 2 from Arlington to West Orange is up next. Work will begin on or about March 24 and will take approximately one month to complete. Here are the details from MassDOT:

Please be advised that 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 in a week:

  • Corridor: Route 2
  • Approximate start date: Mar. 23
  • Approximate construction duration: 4 weeks
  • Location: Arlington to West Orange
  • 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.
