CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – The exit signs across the Massachusetts Turnpike have begun to have new numbers assigned to comply with federal mandates.
The MassDOT has started to change the exit numbers along the Mass Pike Sunday, December 11. The new exits will now correspond with a mileage-based system. Exit signs will be replaced on all highways that run through Massachusetts, including Interstate-91.
The exit numbers are being changed by MassDOT, to comply with federal highway mandates, which require mile-based exit signs. The benefits of the new signage include easier vehicle mileage tracking and more accurate emergency responses.

How will the program be paid for?
The project, which is estimated to cost $2.8 million, will be paid for through Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds. HSIP funding carries a 90/10 split, which means that 90% of the project will be funded through federal funds and the remaining 10% will be funded through state highway funds.
