    FRAMINGHAM, MA – In the days before GPS, people asking for directions to Framingham from the east or west would be told to “take the Pike and get off at Exit 12 or Exit 13” depending where in Framingham they were going.

    “The Pike” as locals call it, also known as the MassPike, (shortened from “Massachusetts Turnpike”), is the portion of U.S. Interstate Highway “I-90”, a toll road that runs from the western border of Massachusetts in the town of West Stockbridge to Boston, MA the state capital.

    Along with the rest of the MassPike, (and many other highways), the exit numbers are being changed to a uniform numbering system based on mile markers.
