The The Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports that MassHighway is looking to rework the intersection of I-290 and I-495 in Hudson.
I can’t imagine that it’s possible to make that interchange any worse; 290 is backed up heading onto 495 south many mornings, and 495 north occasionally.
I do like that the image they include is of the way the interchange is now, not what’s being planned. Not really all that helpful.
Every once in a while, I’ll find a perfect combination of song and road. Today I had one – Pet Shop Boys “Somewhere” came on just as I was getting onto I-290 as it starts in Hudson and it just seemed right. THe song picked up just as I went under the 495 ramp and… well, it was just right.
For those keeping score, the other spots I’ve had this that I can remember are:
I-84 westbound just before exit 8, Abba’s “Dancing Queen”
I-390 north over a hill just before I-90, Depeche Mode’s “Get Right With Me”
I-87 north through Saratoga Springs, Prodigy’s “Voodoo People”
Anyone else have anything?
The folks over at Something Awful Something Awful chose road signs for this week’s Photoshop Phriday. I personally like the Men At Work one best.
