The '''Massachusetts Turnpike''' (commonly shortened to the '''MassPike''' or '''The Pike''') is the easternmost {{convert|138|mi|km|adj=on}} stretch of [[Interstate 90]]. The Turnpike begins at the western border of [[Massachusetts]] in [[West Stockbridge, Massachusetts|West Stockbridge]] connecting with the [[Berkshire Connector]] portion of the [[New York State Thruway]]. From there, the MassPike heads east, traversing the state and serving the major cities of [[Springfield, Massachusetts|Springfield]], [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]], and [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], and ends at [[Logan International Airport]] in [[East Boston, Massachusetts|East Boston]], where the road meets [[Massachusetts State Highway 1A|Route 1A]]. The highest point on the Turnpike is in the Town of [[Becket, Massachusetts]] at elevation {{convert|1724|ft|m}} above sea level.

==History==
[[Image:Masspike logo 1955.jpg|left|thumb|200px|The original logo depicted [[Paul Revere]] on horseback with the words "Massachusetts Turnpike Authority" in a circle around him.]]
[[Image:Sumner Tunnel shield hat closeup.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The original Masspike pilgrim hat, on a shield for the [[Sumner Tunnel]]. The previous incarnation of the logo had a Native American arrow sticking through the pilgrim hat. It was replaced with a plain hat and the words "Mass Pike" in 1989 primarily due to confusion among motorists who sometimes mistakenly turned in the direction the arrow pointed (right) when attempting to enter the turnpike.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/boston/access/59150596.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Feb+28%2C+1991&author=M.+R.+Montgomery%2C+Globe+Staff&pub=Boston+Globe+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&edition=&startpage=NOPGCIT&desc=Redrawing+the+Native+American+image |title=Redrawing the Native American Image |last=Montgomery |first=M.

Plans for the Turnpike date back to at least 1948, when the '''Western Expressway''' was being planned. The original section would have connected [[Boston]]'s [[Inner Belt (Boston)|Inner Belt]] to [[Newton, Massachusetts|Newton]] with connections with [[US 20]] and [[Massachusetts Route 30|Route 30]] for traffic continuing west. Later extensions would take the road to and beyond [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]]. From the beginning, the corridor was included in federal plans for the [[Interstate Highway System]], stretching west to the [[New York]] state line and beyond to [[Albany, New York|Albany]].

Also included in the route was the planned '''Springfield Bypass''', which had been proposed to provide a bypass of US 20 in the [[Springfield, Massachusetts|Springfield]] area. Part of this route (and that of the eventual Turnpike) used the grading from the never-opened [[Hampden Railroad]]. Similarly, the '''West Stockbridge Bypass''' provided a new route of [[Massachusetts Route 102|Route 102]] from [[Massachusetts Route 183|Route 183]] in [[Stockbridge, Massachusetts|Stockbridge]] west to Route 102 just east of the state line in [[West Stockbridge, Massachusetts|West Stockbridge]]; this latter route was built prior to the Turnpike.

The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority was created in 1952 by a special act of the Massachusetts General Court (legislature) upon the recommendation of Governor Dever and his Commissioner of Public Works, William F. Callahan. (1952 Acts and Resolves chapter 354; 1952 Senate Doc. 1.) The enabling act was modeled upon that of the Mystic River Bridge Authority (1946 Acts and Resolves chapter 562), but several changes were made that would prove of great importance fifty years later. Callahan served as chairman of the Authority until his death in April 1964.

When the attorneys were searching land titles along the proposed route, they discovered that sections of the original land had been granted by the King of England to some of the landowner's ancestors.{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} Construction began in 1955, and the whole four-lane road from Route 102 at the state line to [[Massachusetts Route 128|Route 128]] in [[Weston, Massachusetts|Weston]] opened on May 15, 1957. The [[Berkshire Thruway]] opened on May 26, 1959, connecting the west end to the [[New York State Thruway]] mainline south of [[Albany, New York|Albany]]. Prior to its opening, traffic used [[New York State Route 22|Route 22]] and [[US 20]] in New York. At the Massachusetts/New York state line, one can see where the Turnpike made an abrupt right turn before terminating at Route 102, as the old pavement still exists for Turnpike Authority and State Police vehicles to access this remote stretch of highway.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=42.347834,-73.41181&sll=42.348427,-73.416138&sspn=0.00915,0.027852&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=42.348284,-73.41176&spn=0.00915,0.019677&z=18|title=View}}</ref>

After political and legal battles related to the '''Boston Extension''' inside Route 128, construction began on March 5, 1962, with the chosen alignment running next to the [[Boston and Albany Railroad]] and reducing that line to two tracks. In September 1964 the part from Route 128 east to exit 18 ([[Allston (MA)|Allston]]) opened, and the rest was finished on February 18, 1965, taking it to the [[Central Artery]].

The [[Interstate 90]] designation was assigned to the Turnpike in 1959 with the completion of plans for the Interstate Highway System. Early proposals took I-90 across the northern part of the state, along [[Massachusetts Route 2|Route 2]], but this was rejected as too costly. With the completion of the Boston Extension, that too was designated as I-90.

In the 1990s, then-[[Governor of Massachusetts|Governor]] [[William Weld]] took the decision to turn over the assets of Boston's Big Dig project to the Turnpike Authority.<ref>[http://www.boston.com/news/traffic/bigdig/articles/2006/08/03/the_real_builder_of_the_big_dig/ The real builder of the Big Dig]</ref><ref>[http://www.city-journal.org/html/17_4_big_dig.html Lessons of Boston’s Big Dig]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bostonroads.com/roads/mass-pike/|title=Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90)}}</ref> During this time he appointed [[James Kerasiotes]] to the Turnpike Authority to continue the authority's oversight of the Big Dig project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thephoenix.com/Boston/News/18726-A-Handy-Guide-to-the-Big-Dig-Screw-Up/?rel=inf|title=A Handy Guide to the Big Dig Screw-Up}}</ref>

In 1991, construction began on the extension of the Massachusetts Turnpike to [[Logan Airport]], via the [[Ted Williams Tunnel]] as part of the [[Big Dig]] interstate/tunnel project. The final extension opened in 2003; the eastern end of I-90 now merges into [[Massachusetts Route 1A|Route 1A]].

The legislature separated the Turnpike into a western portion, from the New York border to Route 128, and the eastern '''Metropolitan Highway System''', which includes a {{convert|15|mi|km|adj=on}} stretch of the Turnpike from Route 128 to East Boston, the Ted Williams, [[Sumner Tunnel|Sumner]] and [[Callahan Tunnel|Callahan]] tunnels under [[Boston Harbor]], and I-93 from Southampton Street through the [[Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. Tunnel|Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill tunnel]] and the [[Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge|Leonard P. Zakim Bridge]] to the foot of the [[Tobin Bridge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/81a-3.htm|title=MGL Chapter 81A, Section 3}}</ref> Finances for the two parts of the Turnpike are accounted for separately.

===2009 changes===
In a January 22 board meeting, the Turnpike stopped charging a one time $25.95 fee for the acquisition of a Fast Lane toll transponder, replacing it with a 50-cent monthly recurring service fee.<ref>

Under a plan to save state funds, the Massachusetts [[Registry of Motor Vehicles]] (MRMV) announced plans to close eleven of its branches in leased locations and move the operations into facilities owned by MassHighway and Massachusetts Turnpike Authority located in toll plazas, visitor centers and offices. MRMV branch closings were planned for Framingham, Lowell, North Attleboro, Cambridgeside Galleria Mall in Cambridge, New Bedford, Eastfield Mall in Springfield, Southbridge, Falmouth, Eastham, Beverly and Boston.<ref name="mwdn-rmv">{{cite web|url=http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/homepage/x877771291/Registry-to-close-Framingham-branch-10-other-locations|title=Registry to close Framingham branch, 10 other locations|last=Riley|first=David Riley|date=July 3, 2009|work=The [[MetroWest Daily News]]|accessdate=2009-08-01}}</ref> Also, a portion of the newly increased sales tax in the state averted a planned toll increase.

Under legislation signed into law by Gov. [[Deval Patrick]] on June 26, the turnpike was folded into a new super-agency that controls all surface transportation in the state. The new agency, the [[Massachusetts Department of Transportation]] (MassDOT), now operates all highways formerly under MassHighway and the Turnpike Authority as well as eight urban roadways formerly owned and maintained by the state [[Department of Conservation and Recreation (Massachusetts)|Department of Conservation and Recreation]].<ref name="generalcourt-25-2009">{{cite web|url=http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/seslaw09/sl090025.htm|title=Chapter 25 of the Acts of 2009|publisher=The 186th General Court of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts|accessdate=2009-11-05}}</ref> In addition, MassDOT oversees the MRMV, [[MBTA]], regional transit authorities and the state aeronautics commission.<ref name="dot-merge">{{cite web|url=http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=gov3pressrelease&L=1&L0=Home&sid=Agov3&b=pressrelease&f=090626_transportation_reform_bill&csid=Agov3|title=Governor Patrick signs bill to dramatically reform transportation system|date=June 26, 2009|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|accessdate=2009-08-01}}</ref> The new Transportation Department began operations on November 1, 2009.<ref name="massdot-about">{{cite web|url=http://www.massdot.state.ma.us/main/MassDOTAboutUs.aspx|title=Welcome to MassDOT - About US|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|accessdate=2009-11-03}}</ref> According to MTA board member [[Mary Z.

===Former Turnpike Authority funding and jurisdiction===
[[Image:Masspike25.JPG|250px||thumb|The Massachusetts Turnpike near the [[Chicopee, Massachusetts|Chicopee]] exit]]
The Turnpike Authority also owned the [[Callahan Tunnel]] and [[Sumner Tunnel]], the other two road connections between downtown Boston and [[East Boston]] under [[Boston Harbor]].<ref>http://www.state.ma.us/eot/downloads/planning/dataResources/Jurisdiction-District4.pdf</ref> Upon completion of the [[Central Artery/Tunnel Project]], all tunnels constructed as part of the Big Dig, including the [[O'Neill Tunnel]] segment of [[I-93]], were transferred to its control.<ref name="massturnpike1">[http://www.massdot.state.ma.us/Highway/bigdig/projectbkg.aspx#achievements The Big Dig]</ref> The Authority received no state or federal government funding. Its revenues came from tolls, leases on air rights and service areas, and advertising. Its assets were all transferred to the new MassDOT agency as part of the restructuring of agencies.<ref name="globe-endmasspike">{{cite news|url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/10/16/end_of_road_for_mass_pike_board/?page=full|title=End of the road for Mass.

===Toll revenue===
[[Image:Mass-tpk-night.jpg|thumb|250px|left|View of the Turnpike from an [[overpass]] by [[Boston University]], facing east (towards downtown [[Boston]])]]
[[Image:Mass Pike at Newton.jpg|thumb|250px|left|The Pike at Exit 17 (just out of view at left) in [[Newton, Massachusetts|Newton]], looking west. To the right side of this image, [[MBTA]] Commuter Rail tracks are visible.]]

The Massachusetts Turnpike is a [[toll road]]; it costs $5.10 for a Class 1 passenger vehicle to travel east from Exit 1 ([[Route 41 (Massachusetts)|Route 41]]), in [[West Stockbridge, Massachusetts|West Stockbridge]], to [[Logan International Airport|Logan Airport]], in [[Boston, Massachusetts|East Boston]]. Additionally, a flat-rate toll barrier for the [[Ted Williams Tunnel]] exists on the westbound side of the turnpike between exits 26 and 25, imposing a $3.50 charge for Class 1 passenger vehicles. Therefore, motorists who are destined to travel away from [[Logan International Airport]] via [[I-90]] West will be assessed a $3.50 additional charge, since the only interchange east of this toll barrier other than the eastern terminus at [[Massachusetts State Route 1A|Route 1A]] is Exit 26, leading into the airport terminals, parking garages, rental car center, on-site hotels, etc. From Exit 1, in West Stockbridge, to Exit 14/15 ([[Route 128 (Massachusetts)|Route 128]] / [[Interstate 95 in Massachusetts|I-95]]), in [[Weston, Massachusetts|Weston]], the Massachusetts Turnpike is a [[ticket system|closed-system]] toll road, using long-distance tickets obtained once by a motorist on entrance, and surrendered on exit, at toll gates. The toll gates exist at all exits and entrances from Exit 1 to Exit 14/15. From Exit 14/15 to its eastern end in [[East Boston, Massachusetts|East Boston]] (in other words, east of the toll barrier residing between Exits 14 and 15), the Massachusetts Turnpike is an open-system toll road. There are toll plazas at Exit 18/19/20 in [[Allston, Boston, Massachusetts|Allston, Massachusetts]], in both mainline directions and on the interchange ramps. There also is a toll plaza on the mainline at the westbound entrance to the [[Ted Williams Tunnel]], in [[East Boston, Massachusetts|East Boston]]. Exits 16, 17, and 21–26, plus the eastbound-only Route 1A junction have no toll plazas on their ramps.

[[Image:Weston Toll Plaza.jpg|thumb|250px|The toll plaza in Weston marking the transition point between closed-system tolling west of this toll plaza, and open-system to the east.]]

Toll plazas on the interchange ramps at Exit 16 were removed in 1996 at the direction of then [[Governor of Massachusetts|Governor]] [[William Weld]].

After protests from [[Western Massachusetts]] residents that their toll money was funding the [[Big Dig (Boston, Massachusetts)|Big Dig]], a [[Boston]] highway project, tolls were removed on a western portion of the [[freeway]] in July 1996: no toll is charged for passenger-vehicle travel between Springfield (Exit 6, [[Interstate 291 (Massachusetts)|Interstate 291]]) and the [[New York]] (Exit 1, West Stockbridge) border in either direction.

Travel between exits 16 and 17, both in [[Newton, Massachusetts|Newton]], is a "free movement": no toll is charged for travel between these two exits. At exit 16, traffic can enter the Turnpike only eastbound and may exit from the Turnpike only westbound.

Motorists can pay tolls to toll-booth personnel or use the [[Fast Lane]] [[electronic toll collection|electronic toll-collection]] system, whereby transponders installed in the cars (typically on the inner windshields) are recognized automatically in special lanes at toll plazas, the toll amounts then being withdrawn from the motorists' accounts. Fast Lane is compatible with the [[E-ZPass]] electronic toll-collection system, which is used in the northeastern United States, south to Virginia and west to Chicago.
MassDOT plans to eliminate the name Fast Lane, and begin simply using the EZPass brand name for the ETS system beginning in October 2011, when the current Citizens Bank sponsorship contract expires. All signage at toll plazas will be changed to the standard white-on-purple EZPass signs.

===Air rights===
[[File:Shaw's over the Massachusetts Turnpike, Newtonville MA.jpg|thumb|right|250px|<center>A [[Shaw's Supermarket]] built overthe Massachusetts Turnpike in [[Newton, Massachusetts|Newton]]</center>]]
The MTA has [[air rights|leased much of the air space]] over the highway east of Exit 15; these are the structures that have been constructed or are planned:<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.boston.com/advertisers/bigdig/air.shtml |title=The Future of Boston |author= |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |date= |accessdate=2007-11-28}}</ref>

* The new One Beacon development at parcel 9, between Beacon st and Brookline Ave., including a 23 story apartment complex and mixed use development.<ref name=globe-ross>{{cite news |url=http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2008/09/19/developer_hopes_for_hit_at_fenway/?page=full |title=Developer hopes for a hit at Fenway |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |author=Casey Ross |pages=C1, C6 |date=2008-09-19 |accessdate=2008-09-20}}</ref>
* New construction on parcels 8, and 10 adjacent to [[Fenway Park]]. (2008–2018)
* Near [[BU Bridge]], [[Boston University]] announced long-term plans to extend its campus over the highway<ref>[http://dailyfreepress.com/2008/05/06/bu-says-campus-future-is-up-in-the-air/ The Daily Free Press - BU says campus future is up in the air]</ref>

There is one major air rights property that the MTA does not own and that is the Prudential Center Complex constructed beginning in 1965. This property includes a [[Shaw's Supermarket]], the [[Prudential Tower]] office and residential buildings, the [[Shops at Prudential Center]] mall, the [[Hynes Convention Center]] and the [[Back Bay (MBTA station)|Back Bay MBTA station]].

In 2001, the Turnpike Authority and the City of Boston agreed on [http://www.cityofboston.gov/bra/Planning/PlanningInitsIndividual.asp?action=ViewInit&InitID=43 guidelines for air rights development] for the remaining parcels over the highway in Boston from the I-93 interchange to Commonwealth Avenue (with the exception of a parcel adjacent to the historic [[Fenway Studios]]). While development is not presently planned for all of this corridor, the agreement provides de facto zoning rules should it take place.

==Controversies==
[[Image:Masspike.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The Massachusetts Turnpike, as it nears the [[Prudential Tower|Prudential Center]], at sunset]]

===MTA Board firings===
Since 2001, the Turnpike Authority had come under fire from state politicians in a fight for control of the quasi-state agency. Beginning in 2001, former Massachusetts [[acting governor]] [[Jane Swift]] ([[Republican Party (US)|R]]) attempted to fire [[Christy Mihos]], a former Turnpike [[board of directors|board]] member and [[Jordan Levy]], the current{{When|date=April 2010}} Vice [[Chairman]] of the board.

Mihos and Levy had cast votes on the board to postpone a toll hike. Swift objected, saying such a delay was "fiscally irresponsible” and saying the two men "interfered with the effective daily management of the Authority."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=ma&vol=sjcslip/sjcMay02h&invol=1 |title=JORDAN LEVY & another vs. THE ACTING GOVERNOR & another |accessdate=2007-07-13 |date=2001-11-19}}</ref> Mihos and Levy refused to step down and sued Swift to retain their positions. The [[Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court]] (SJC) ruled that the Turnpike was "not part of the machinery of the government" and therefore not subject to Swift’s decisions.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ma-appellatecourts.org/display_docket.php?dno=SJC-08730 |title=JORDAN LEVY & another vs. THE ACTING GOVERNOR & another SJC-08730 |accessdate=2007-07-02 |date=2002-05-07}}</ref>

===Proposed MTA/MassHighway merger===
Gov. [[Mitt Romney]] ([[Republican Party (US)|R]]), elected in 2002 during a fiscal crisis, ran on a [[Political platform|platform]] of streamlining state government and eliminating waste. Part of this was the elimination of the Turnpike Authority. Gov. Romney wanted to fold the Turnpike into MassHighway, the state highway department, operated under the Executive Office of Transportation. A first step to this was to replace the Chairman of the Board, [[Matthew J. Amorello]] with someone loyal to the governor. The governor has the power to appoint members to the board, but the SJC advised in an [[advisory opinion]] that "nothing in G. L. c. 81A explicitly provides for the removal and reassignment of the chairperson to the position of "member."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.socialaw.com/slip.htm?cid=15320&sid=120 |title=ANSWER OF THE JUSTICES TO THE GOVERNOR.|accessdate=2007-07-02 |date=2005-06-29}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ma-appellatecourts.org/display_docket.php?dno=SJC-09461 |title=REQUEST FOR ADVISORY OPINION, A-108 SJC-09461 |accessdate=2007-07-02 |date=2005-06-29}}</ref>

The governor took the case to the court of the public opinion and put enormous pressure on Mr. Amorello to step down. Mr. Amorello announced he would do so in 2007, after Gov. Romney would have left office. Gov. Romney continued to press the legislature to give him the power to remove members from the board, specifically the chairman, pointing to a series of financial and construction mishaps over the last several years. However, the legislature instead sought to keep Mr. Amorello on board by extending the terms of various board members to prevent Gov. Romney from removing Mr. Amorello.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2006/06/02/budget_amendment_in_senate_would_let_amorello_keep_job/ |title=Budget amendment in Senate would let Amorello keep job |date=2006-06-02 |author=Murphy, Sean P. |work=[[The Boston Globe]]}}</ref>

===I-90 connector ceiling collapse===
{{wikinews|Portion of ceiling collapses in Boston tunnel}}
In response to a fatality caused by the collapse of the ceiling of the eastbound I-90 connector tunnel approaching the [[Ted Williams Tunnel]] on July 10, 2006, and in response to Amorello's refusal (at the time) to resign, Gov. Romney took legal steps to have Amorello forcibly removed as head of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.boston.com/news/traffic/bigdig/articles/2006/07/14/amorello_now_adrift/ |title=Amorello, now adrift |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |date=2006-07-14 |author=Lehigh, Scot}}</ref> culminating in Amorello's resignation on August 15, 2006. The next day, [[John Cogliano]] was sworn in as the new Chairman of the Turnpike Authority by Gov.

On November 27, 2006, departing [[Attorney General]] [[Thomas Reilly|Tom Reilly]] ([[Democratic Party (United States)|D]]) announced the state will launch a civil suit over the collapse of the ceiling in the [[Ted Williams Tunnel]]. The Commonwealth will be seeking over $150 million dollars from project manager [[Bechtel]]/[[Parsons Brinckerhoff]], builder [[Modern Continental|Modern Continental Construction Co.]] and the manufacturer of the [[epoxy]] used to hold the ceiling bolts.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKN2748129520061128 |title=Mass. to sue Big Dig firms over tunnel accident |work=Reuters |date=2006-11-28 | first=Svea | last=Herbst}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Wide risk, wide blame |first=Sean P. |last=Murphy |coauthor=Andrea Estes |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |date=2007-07-11 |url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/07/11/wide_risk_wide_blame/ |accessdate=2009-10-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Companies to settle for $26m in tunnel collapse |first=Jonathan |last=Saltzman |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |date=2008-11-15 |url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2008/11/15/companies_to_settle_for_26m_in_tunnel_collapse/ |accessdate=2009-10-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=AG settles with final two firms in fatal collapse of Big Dig tunnel |first=Martin |last=Finucane |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/03/27/ag_settles_with_final_two_firms_in_fatal_collapse_of_big_dig_tunnel/ |date=2009-03-27 |accessdate=2009-10-09}}</ref>

===Toll removal===
On October 18, 2006, the Turnpike board voted to remove all tolls west of the Route 128 Toll Plaza in response to a recommendation made by [[Eric Kriss]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pioneerinstitute.org/pdf/turnpike_task_force_final_report.pdf |title=Turnpike Task Force Final Report}}</ref> a former fiscal adviser to the governor, whom Gov. Romney asked to review the Turnpike situation following the July 2006 tunnel ceiling collapse.<ref name=globe-tolls>{{cite news |url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/politics/candidates/articles/2006/10/19/pike_board_acts_to_end_tolls_west_of_route_128/ |title=Pike board acts to end tolls west of Route 128 |first=Raja |last=Mishra |coauthor=Mac Daniel |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |date=2006-10-19 |accessdate=2009-10-27}}</ref>

On October 19, 2006, members of the [[Massachusetts]] Legislature Transportation Committee were quoted in ''[[The Boston Globe]]'' as saying that the governor's actions may require state law to be amended for the toll removal to happen. In addition, questions have been raised in regard to how the State would fund the maintenance of the Turnpike after the removal of the tolls.<ref ma,e=globe-illegal>{{cite news |url=http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/10/20/ending_pike_tolls_is_called_illegal/ |title=Ending Pike tolls is called illegal |first=Mac |last=Daniel |work=[[The Boston Globe]] |date=2006-10-10 |accessdate=2009-10-26}}</ref>

The issue of the removal of the tolls is highly charged politically. Several members of the state [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] declared this as a political maneuver to bolster the gubernatorial campaign of [[Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts|Lieutenant Governor]] [[Kerry Healy]], a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]], who was behind in the polls at the time of the announcement. Also, because the MTA Board is composed of Romney appointees, Kriss's former association with the Romney administration and the ongoing election at the time, the issue was clouded by accusations of partiality and political agendas from both sides of the aisle.

In the November 9, 2006, edition of ''[[The Boston Globe]]'', Romney announced his intention to try to remove the tolls before Governor-elect [[Deval Patrick]], a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]], was inaugurated in January 2007, but this did not occur. As of January 2009, Patrick's plan was to remove all tolls west of Route 128, except at the West Stockbridge and Sturbridge tolls.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}

== Route description ==
The Massachusetts Turnpike is the major east-west highway in Massachusetts, connecting three of its major cities, [[Springfield, Massachusetts|Springfield]], [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]] and [[Boston]]. It is also the eastern-most portion of [[Interstate 90]]. The roadway begins at the New York border and continues in a south-easterly direction until the junction with [[Interstate 84 (east)|Interstate 84]] in [[Sturbridge, Massachusetts|Sturbridge]]; from that point it continues in a north-easterly direction into Boston.

Between the New York border and the I-84 junction, the roadway is a four-lane divided highway, two lanes in either direction. Between I-84 and exit 18 in Newton, Massachusetts, it is a six-lane divided highway which grows to eight lanes between the Newton and Cambridge exits where it drops back to six lanes. It stays as a six lane roadway until the Ted Williams Tunnel where it drops back to four lanes until the exit of the tunnel in East Boston.

==Exit list==
The Massachusetts Turnpike uses a system of sequential [[exit number]]ed [[interchange (road)|interchanges]]. Since the time that the interchanges were originally numbered, more have been added, leading to situations like Exit 11, which is a minor state route, and 11A, which is a major [[Interstate Highway]] {{convert|10|mi|km}} away.

Also, near Boston, some of the interchanges are solely onramps and are not signed as exits, so, for instance, there is no Exit 21 signed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.masspike.com/interchange.html|title=Interchange Numbers}}{{Dead link|date=April 2010}}</ref>

===Toll ticket colors===
[[Image:Mass Pike Toll Ticket.jpg|thumb|250px|A Massachusetts Turnpike toll ticket, obtained at exit 1 from September 2006.]]
Toll tickets obtained by motorists traveling on the Mass Pike are color-coded based on the interchange where the motorist entered the Pike. In addition to the black stripe on the back which is read by a magnetic reader, this color coding allows rapid identification by the toll collector, expediting the process of toll collection. There are other reasons why this schematic is in effect on the only tolled road in Massachusetts, such as environmental concerns.
* Exit 1 is orange.
* Exits 2-8, 11 and 12 are gray.
* Exit 9 is purple.
* Exit 10 is light blue.
* Exit 10A is dark blue/purple.
* Exit 11A is brown.
* Exit 13 is yellow.
* Exit 14 (before Weston Toll Plaza exiting East, and after entering West) is green.
* Exit 15 (known as "Newton" and "Boston" on ticket, before Weston Toll Plaza exiting West, and after entering East) is pink.

==Service plazas==
[[Image:I-90EAST approaching Stockbridge tolls.jpg|thumb|right|Interstate 90 eastbound approaching the [[West Stockbridge, Massachusetts|West Stockbridge]] toll plaza, the western limit for the toll ticket system.]]
There are 11 service areas (plazas) on the Massachusetts Turnpike, named for the towns in which they are located. Each plaza offers [[Gulf Oil|Gulf]] gas stations and Gulf Express convenience stores. But, some rest areas still have [[Mobil]] gas stations, and Mobil Marts. Most offer [[McDonald's]] restaurants, with two plazas (Ludlow WB and Westboro WB) having [[Boston Market]] and [[D'Angelo Sandwich Shops|D'Angelo]] as the main food offerings. Some plazas also have secondary food such as [[Auntie Anne's]] pretzels, [[Ben & Jerry's]] ice cream, [[Papa Gino's]] pizza, Original Pizza, and [[Fresh City]] restaurants. Some restaurants at some plazas also offer a [[drive thru]].

The plazas are:
* [[Lee, Massachusetts|Lee]] Plaza (Eastbound and Westbound) between exits 1 and 2 East and 2 and 1 West.
* [[Blandford, Massachusetts|Blandford]] Plaza (Eastbound and Westbound) between exits 2 and 3 East and 3 and 2 West.
* [[Ludlow, Massachusetts|Ludlow]] Plaza (Eastbound and Westbound) between exits 7 and 8 East and 8 and 7 West.
* [[Charlton, Massachusetts|Charlton]] Plaza (Eastbound and Westbound) between exits 9 and 10 East and Exits 10 and 9 West.
* [[Westborough, Massachusetts|Westborough]] Plaza (Westbound) between exits 11A and 11.
* [[Framingham, Massachusetts|Framingham]] Plaza (Westbound) between exits 13 and 12.
* [[Natick, Massachusetts|Natick]] Plaza (Eastbound) between exits 13 and 14.

The Lee Plaza in the Westbound direction plus the Blandford Plaza in the Eastbound direction are the only service plazas that do not feature a dog walk area. The only service plazas that do not offer family restrooms are Lee (Westbound), Blandford, and Ludlow.

A [[weigh station]] is located on the eastbound side of the turnpike in Charlton between exits 9 and 10.

==Cultural significance==
In his [[1970]] song "[[Sweet Baby James]]," Boston-born and western Massachusetts resident [[James Taylor]] includes a reference to a drive along the Massachusetts Turnpike:

:''Now the First of December was covered with snow
:''And so was the Turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
:''Lord, the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frostin'
:''With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
