SPRINGFIELD MassDOT will begin work Wednesday night updating highway exit numbers along Interstate 91.
Work will begin at the Vermont border and proceed south to the Connecticut state line, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said Tuesday.
Renumbering work is also continuing on I-95 in eastern Massachusetts.
The work follows renumbering on Interstate 90, also known as the MassPike, and elsewhere in the state to bring Massachusetts into compliance with federal regulations and numbering solutions already used in nearly all the United States.
The milepost sign installation operations will take place during overnight hours from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. . the following day. The work is anticipated to be completed in two weeks.
