Well, yes, I know New York 90 exists and have driven parts of it.  But this was at a Mass Pike service area, making it along I-90 and in Massachusetts.

My Massachusetts brain cannot comprehending having a NY 90 right next to I-90. We just don't do that in our state.

Well...the saga of the proposed renovations to the Commonwealth's rest areas continues.  Applegreen (the winning bidder) is pulling out.

That's one road, just signed with different shields, and the whole thing is just called "Route 3". The only true duplication in the Commonwealth is I-295/MA 295 in the Berkshires (a continuation of NY 295).

Isn't that more like I-690 and NY 690?

I don't get it. This is chat gpt's correction ""That's one road, just signed with different shields, and the whole thing is just called "Route 3". The only true duplication in the Commonwealth is I-295/MA 295 in the Berkshires (a continuation of NY 295).""

Looks like Applegreen isn't doing the service plaza rehabs/operations on the MassPike and elsewhere in Mass...

I visited the Connie Chung Service Plaza on the GSP, which is an Applegreen plaza.

It had a very sterile feeling.

Bathrooms were clean, which was all that mattered to me.
