$400 million headed to South Shore transit projects (1/28/21)
PING!
Is this because of roads falling off into the ocean or they need to justify the bean counters bloated budget?
The swapping of signs on Route 28 is expected to take 8 days.
I would have guessed 9, but I tend to leave a little time in there in case it rains or something.
I take Rt 3 every Monday, and the first day after they changed the signs was infuriating!
But at least from this article, I now understand why they did such a stupid thing...to comply with the Feds.
OK. Whatever.
How long before we get the kilometrage-based exits?
They’re doing this between 8pm and 5am.
Seems like it would be pretty dark.
Maybe they’re using night vision goggles or something.
I guess they could pop a flare every couple of minutes but that might bring a lot of UFO reports.
While they’re at it, they should also rename any exit numbers that once harbored any racist, hateful, or generally distasteful thoughts.
It’s Kafkaesque that in a world with such smart machinery, the ability to code to infinite hierarchies of logic, and no practical limits on the storing of human knowledge, a country as big as America can’t handle diversity in its exit numbering schemes.
This should be fun.
The old numbers are going to remain for two years.
Two years standing around....government work.

I think the mileage based system works best though I’m sure transitioning is a pain.
A long time ago, a group of us corporate employees from Chicago ended up in Boston on an extended project after a management change. When I arrived there as a new hire, one of the more experienced people on the project explained that the definition of a good time at the Boston location was “Waking up naked on a pool table in P-Buddy”. It took a while to understand the reference.
Why didn’t they number the exits based on mileage in the first place? I though all exits on interstate highways were mileage based.
Corruption! I would be willing to bet that if you travel the interstate through Greensboro, NC today, you will encounter miles and miles of construction. Over the course of almost a decade (or a little more) I traveled through Greensboro, NC numerous times. It was the ONLY place I have ever been through that was under CONSTANT construction. Then there is 44 in Missouri coming out of Springfield heading northeast... There are mile marker signs EVERY 2/10’s of a mile for mile after mile! Ridiculous! Every bit of this is graft and corruption.
Mileage exit numbering in the northeast is just plain dumb.Out west not so much.
