Use this map to kinda find your way around.



Two BGS's at junction B3. The first one is the westbound advance warning for junction B3
The second is a sign at the entrance ramp southbound on NY 22. Click on either to have a better look.



The "Mystery ramp" on the map above. This is just over the MA line, and it's fenced in. I went over the fence to get this snap...Just my luck a MassPike guy would show up at that moment(Just after I snapped this), and asked what I was up to. I told him, and he split-kinda mystified. At least he didn't call the coppers.

This modified 1998 Terraserver image shows the Mystery ramp from the air. Now from the looks of this, it looks like a bidirectional connector to Mass 102-and may have once been the western end of the MassPike-the most logical guess I can make-though why anyone would end a major cross-state motorway literally in the middle of nowhere escapes me-except if they were anticipating that a connection would be built. If anybody has any hints on this email me.




NY 22 almost meets MA 102 west-it's just 0.24 miles from NY 22 to the western end of MA 102. The first three signs are at the state line: The "State Highway limits" are at the state line-two signs posted on either side of the pole. The last sign assembly is the junction assembly on NY 22. This is NYSDOT work-and they liven up the "Mass" square a little bit-at least you can tell what state you're going into. Incidentally ,the link to Mass 102 does not have a reference number posted-it's reference route 980D(thanks to Chris Jordan for that info)-but it's NYSDOT work just the same.
