"Lowell
Connector"
Picture of the lone surviving "BUSINESS SPUR 495"
sign for the Lowell Connector
The route known
locally as the "Lowell Connector" is an older (late 50s/early
60s) 4 lane divided limited access highway that runs from US 3, crosses
I-495 and continues to a city street in Lowell just past MA 3A. It
has numbered exits running from 1 to 5C. It was once Business Spur 495,
and may still bear that as a hidden route number. Other than this forgotten
old "Business Spur 495" sign on a rusty post west of Exit 4 there are no signs whatsoever
assigning a number to it. I believe the exit off I-495 lists it as "Lowell
Connector".
The Lowell Connector bridge can be seen in the distance behind the sign
The (modern) sign in the distance reads "TO {I-495} {US 3} NEXT RIGHT".
The "JCT" sign is similar to what Massachusetts uses for its
state routes except it has a period. It is probably an older style.
Green-on-top traffic light, Tipperary Hill, Syracuse NY.
What do I do?
Yes this light is displaying both red and green right turn arrows at the
same time. (Nashua NH) (Since this picture was taken, the rightmost red
signal has been replaced by a red ball. The center signal still displays
two arrows)
