I want to go back to the more accurate "To 125" for the Ward Hill Connector, like we had up to the 1980's. Guess I am not getting my wish.

Suggest the change to MassDOT.  The MassDOT Feedback e-mail form is at  https://www.mass.gov/forms/contact-massdot

Because the bids have only just been opened, it will be at least three to four months before sign fabrication actually begins.  Plus, adding 'TO' to the Ward Hill signs is a minor change, as it doesn't affect the overall panel size.

Thanks for the link. I did just that per your suggestion.

Is there a link to access? I have been searching MassDOT and have not been able to find it. Did they go to Bid Express?

Oops - yes they did. Bid Express it is. Found it.
