Interstate 291 (Massachusetts)
Interstate 291 is a 5.44 mile connector highway in Massachusetts which links Interstate 91 in downtown Springfield with Interstate 90 (the Massachusetts Turnpike) in eastern Springfield. I-291 is roughly a northeast/southwest highway. It merges with I-91 at its southwestern terminus, via a flyover. The road meets the Masspike at its northeastern terminus. Getting onto the Pike from I-291 is simple, but getting from the Pike to I-291 requires a left turn at a stop light. I-291 travels directly through highly-populated areas of Springfield, and passes under several overpasses. From its southwestern terminus to exit 5A, Interstate 291 is also U.S. Highway 20.
