Exactly two weeks later on April 32nd, I present to you a slice of the Northeast: VT, MA, CT, and NY. Highlights include NY 17/I-81/I-86 construction, Northfield Tunnel, two! meets in New York, and a Merritt Parkway tollbooth. Click on through to the other side for details. As always, please send me comments, corrections, praise, etc.

Always great to see more CT coverage. For grins, here's the part of my "link maker" script that automatically provides a link to your matching page from my state route pages. I'm super glad that you have a consistent URL naming system. I'll need to add 167, 168, etc. for the latest update.

Speaking of adding links:

UPDATE!
Featuring US 220 construction and old US 220 in PA, a ton of railroad bridge views and embossed signs (Kenilworth and Boonton Twp. are your hints) in NJ. You know the drill. https://www.alpsroads.net/roads

I read the California stuff, but from the link on West Coast Roads.

First time on your site, and this was a great first impression  :D (though correction, the signs say "Easton Way" for Exit 33 now, but still)...
QuoteBasically, an elaborate and expensive system was set up to prevent traffic from Exit 32 accessing either Exit 30 or Exit 33. Why? A bunch of rich people who like their "Easton" development and don't want the east side mucketymucks mucking it up (it's what they do best). Exit 33 is signed for Easton, which doesn't exist; what does exist is Easton Way and a shopping center. The Exit 33 overpass, which you can see on the corresponding counterclockwise page (see link at bottom), is also labeled "Easton." So incredibly pretentious of them
Also all the button copy photos for Ohio, a blast from the past.

You would be surprised how much I needed to read this reaction post. :) Interesting that they realized their error and corrected the signs.

Nah, I don't read anything you post. :)

An NJ update (20 photos in all) including CR 502, 507, 511, Bergen Co. was announced around 10 PM.
Followed by an NY update (similar volume) including NY 59, I-87 Thruway, Old NY 17, a random Exxon on US 9W, and most importantly, a NEW PAGE! for Rockland CR 97.

Next time could you please update the changelog on your website itself? Because currently it's at 2021, and you had me worried when I came to revisit your site on a whim.
If you ever feel useless, remember that CR 504 exists.

I'm doing little bit changes here, and probably going to take down the change log entirely.

In the meantime: Added 2 photos to each of the Morris Roads and Morris Non-Roads pages from Main St. in Roxbury.
EDIT: And 26 subway tile photos to NYC Subway.
EDIT 2: And a few more NJ photos, featuring an old bridge on CR 527 in New Brunswick and an old bridge sign on US 202 in Oakland. And this:

New page today - only one new sign, but takes some effort to pull this together.

I was just down in Salem County and wanted to share what I found. The highlight was finally being able to walk the old NJ 48 (and maybe US 40?) docks in Penns Grove. Plenty more old photos on Salem CR 607 and 675 (now their own pages, previously part of NJ 48 and US 130). You'll also find old signs and shields on CR 540, CR 581, Salem CR 611, NJ 77, and US 130 south of Airport Circle; buildings and street art on Salem CR 672, NJ 45, and my main Gloucester County page; and a special stop at Salem River on US 40/NJ 45.
Come check it all out! Comments, questions, corrections, etc. always welcome and appreciated.

This says it all:

QuoteUpdates are now tracked on AARoads. Click here for previous updates.

I'd like to see the most recent photos of every highway, plus the fact that certain things don't exist anymore, like the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

Another update this evening, from last weekend's outing to New Hampton. On the roads side, we have 31 new photos of Musconetcong River Bridges and its freshly split subpages. I also checked out I-80 EB construction and a cool castle by 80 on  CR 517. On the non-roads side, we have new pages for New Hampton and PNC Bank Arts Center with its first show highlighted. Enjoy!
