Title: MA: MA-125 southern end incorrect
Post by: gspeterson on February 23, 2022, 01:57:51 pm

The map/database currently shows MA route 125 ending at I-93.
However, it actually goes about a mile further to actually end at MA Route 62 (see attached image).

Shown ending at I-93 in:
• shapefiles (https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massgis-data-massachusetts-department-of-transportation-massdot-roads) dated 2021-05-12
• all earlier shapefiles I have archived going back to 2009.
• official transportation map (https://www.mass.gov/doc/official-transportation-map-english/download)
• https://gis.massdot.state.ma.us/roadinventory/
• Pavement Condition Viewer (https://massdot.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=9044dff05a4440c89a3c8afa3dc9e924)

The only sign I see for it is this (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5854503,-71.1569306,3a,16.6y,290.41h,92.78t/data=!3m10!1e1!3m8!1sAiTEGXGQ8tsJWJVmpm4U9A!2e0!5s20210901T000000!7i16384!8i8192!9m2!1b1!2i40) (Contractor error? Simply pointing to the far side side of the same interchange?), and nothing at MA62 itself.

What's the source for your info?

Personal experience -- I drove it several weeks ago.

I can go back and get some pics, if that would help.

Tried to get down there last night to look but was late heading to MHT.  Assuming signage isn't any different than what recent GMSV shows, I would argue this is a "no build" and that lone South MA 125 trailblazer at the off-ramp is an error.  Especially given what all the official MassDOT data shows.

Agree, assuming there aren't any other signs posted now too new to be in GMSV.
