Regarding the infobox

This poses an interesting situation. It is a completely unnumbered freeway that has at least a few significant exits. Obviously, the "MA Route" infobox is out of place here, since this is not a MA state route. Should the infobox be changed to the generic "Road" infobox and the exits perhaps made in a separate exit list? --WhosAsking 14:19, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is a MA state highway, maintained by MassHighway...it just currently carries no route number. - EmiOfBrie 19:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If I could create SVG's I'd do it, but I was wondering if someone could throw up an image of Business I-495 with a red line through it at File:MA Route : Lowell Connector.svg. The infobox is hardcoded to only accept SVG's -- EmiOfBrie 02:05, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Language

"It is ironic that it is one of the most deadliest three miles of road because the entire length of the highway is only three miles."

is this actually irony? It's sounds more like a coincidence. A minor detail, I guess. Caligi 20:07, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Route 95 category

I deleted it thinking it was a no-brainer. Rt. 95 is 15 miles away from the beginning of the Lowell Connector. As the person who reverted my edit commented, Route 495 is a loop off of Route 95. But does that constitute categorizing the Connector as Route 95? A loop off of a loop off of 95 seems to be a bit of a stretch to me. What do you think? Stoneice02 07:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just figured that if all interstates were to be categorized by the major interstate they're related to, it would be correct to keep the Connector attached to 95, and crazy as it does sound from a geographic standpoint. I don't feel too strongly each way. CSZero 14:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
