Route 146, Providence, Worcester

Legend had it that Worcester was deliberately denied (or didn't want) a more direct alignment of the Mass Pike when the highway was built in the 1950s. Opened in 1998, Exit 10A was part of the ironically-named "Little Dig," the prolonged effort to connect Route 146 with the Turnpike, and upgrade and extend it to I-290 and Downtown Worcester. The project was so named because it paled only in comparison to the "Big Dig" (Central Artery/Tunnel) underway in Boston at the time. The rest of the connection was finished in 2007.
