Vermonters unearth roads of yore to update maps of public land – The Boston Globe
Well, it’s not exactly the kind of road history I’m into – I really only get interested once the routes have numbers – but I still think it’s a fascinating topic. It also plays into my interest (indirectly) of the towns that were abandoned for the Quabbin. Times change and the roads we needed then aren’t so necessary now. Who knows what current highways will still be in use in 200 years?Vermonters unearth roads of yore to update maps of public land – The Boston Globe: “Paul Gillies, a Montpelier attorney, traveled a slow and circuitous route on an unpaved mountain track until he reached a hairpin bend in the route. Nearby, where fresh snow resembled a dazzling white comforter, a gap between the pine trees appeared to expose remnants of an old, unused road.”

Whoops!
If you stopped by in the past 24 hours or so, youm ight have noticed htings looked a little weird… seems that if you update Drupal (the site software I’m using) via your webhost’s control panel instead of via the instructions in the upgrade package, Bad Things Happen, like your site theme gets blown away. Lesson learned.

Looking back now, do you think folks wish I-95 was run thru downtown Boston vs. around it? Yesssss, I understand folks houses were saved but in the long term, do you think not fully completing the Interstate plan around Boston is what caused the traffic mess that is in place today ?

Welcome
Welcome to the new NortheastHighways.com site. My plan is to transfer the highway content from neilbert.com over to here. Some of it is already completely here (Mass Route Log), some needs to be fixed (the exit guides). Design wise, there’s a lot to be done as well – it’s pretty generic. I’m sure someday I’ll get to that.
