of the existing Route 28, which was quickly changed in 1947 to a new designation of Route 25 as a full-length freeway from the Route 24 expressway in Raynham to Wareham. The section of I-495 between Route 24 in Raynham and I-95 at the Foxborough–Mansfield town line began construction at I-95 in 1976 and finished at the Route 25/Route 24 interchange in 1982. (Prior to 1982, I-495 ended at I-95; the section from Raynham to Wareham was just signed as Route 25). Route 25 was constructed in stages from the late 1950s to the late 1960s. Future In 2014, a new intelligent transportation system system was installed to help commuters and the state better understand the traffic congestion on I-495. Some improvements expected to come to I-495 in the next few years include a project that will install fiber-optic cable, traffic cameras, and variable-message signs on I-495 from I-90 (Hopkinton) to I-93 (Andover). In 2015, the state pledged $165 million to 285 million (equivalent to $ to $ in ) for improvements to the I-495/Massachusetts Turnpike intersection and is considering three different plans. The work is expected to begin in 2021 and be completed in 2025. Improvements to the I-495/Route 9 intersection will commence at the same duration, with a different budget. Exit list Interchanges were to be renumbered to mileage-based numbers under a project scheduled to start in 2016; however, this project was indefinitely postponed by MassDOT until November 18, 2019, when MassDOT confirmed that, beginning in late summer 2020, the exit renumbering project would start. On May 7, 2021, MassDOT announced that I-495 exit numbers would get renumbered starting on or after May 16, 2021, and it would last for approximately five weeks. The project was broken down into four sections: Segment 1: between Route 28 and I-95 (old exits 3–13) Segment 2: between I-95 and I-90 (old exits 14–22) Segment 3: between I-90 and US 3 (old exits 23–35) Segment 4: between US 3 and junction Route 110/I-95 (old exits 37–55) References External links 95-4 Massachusetts 495 Massachusetts 4 Massachusetts 95-4 Transportation in Bristol County, Massachusetts Transportation in Essex County, Massachusetts Transportation in Middlesex County, Massachusetts Transportation in Norfolk County, Massachusetts Transportation in Plymouth County, Massachusetts Transportation in Worcester County, Massachusetts
