Regarding the Rte. 2 / 95 / 128 cloverleaf reconstruction - did they narrow the Rte. 2 mainline?  It certainly appears that a new bridge was constructed in the median, between the E and W mainlines.  No pictures on the Flickr link of the finished product.  Still the same cloverleaf, essentially?  Remember that cloverleaf in the early 80's - it had severe rust on the girders, and spalling concrete, even back then.

The interchange is basically the same. No C/D roads were added. The westbound lanes of the new bridge were built in the gap between the old spans, while the eastbound span was demolished and rebuilt in-place. Functionally, all lanes and shoulders were reconstructed into one large bridge that overlaps where the eastbound span was. No lane reductions were made.
