Die Route 2A in Greenfield

Die Massachusetts Route 2A ist eine 98,46 mi (158,5 km) lange State Route im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten mit Verlauf von Westen (Beginn in Greenfield) nach Osten (Ende in Boston). Die Streckenführung ist in Teilbereichen mit dem ehemaligen Verlauf der Route 2 identisch, der an diesen Stellen neu positioniert oder hochgestuft wurde. Die Route 2A führte bis 2007 in westlicher Richtung bis nach Shelburne Falls in Buckland, wurde dann jedoch bis zur Interstate 91 in Greenfield verkürzt.

Streckenverlauf

Die Strecke beginnt in Greenfield an der Kreisverkehr-Verbindung zur Interstate 91 bzw. Route 2. Von dort führt die Straße durch das Stadtzentrum, um sich an der Stadtgrenze zu Gill wieder mit der Hauptstrecke (Route 2) zu vereinigen. Nach 12,6 mi (20,3 km) verlässt die Route 2A die Route 2 und verläuft durch Orange und Athol, wo sie am ehemaligen Ende der Route 21 vorbeiführt, die nach dem Bau des Quabbin Reservoirs bis nach Belchertown verkürzt wurde. Die Strecke führt weiter über Phillipston und Westminster, wobei sie die Route 2 mehrfach kreuzt. In Fitchburg trägt die Straße zugleich noch mehrere andere Nummerierungen und ist in Lunenburg teilweise identisch mit der Route 13. In Shirley überquert sie schließlich die Grenze zum Middlesex County.

Nördlich von Fort Devens trifft die Route 2A auf Ayer und führt von dort weiter nach Littleton, wo sie Zugang zur Interstate 495 bietet. Von dort wendet sie sich in Richtung Süden nach Acton und Concord, um sich anschließend wieder mit der Hauptstrecke zu vereinigen. Nördlich des Walden Pond zweigt sie wieder ab und führt durch den Minute Man National Historical Park entlang der Great Road, die bereits die britischen Truppen während der Gefechte von Lexington und Concord benutzten. Im Anschluss bietet die Route 2A Zugang zur I-95 bzw. Route 128 und führt weiter durch Lexington und Arlington, von wo aus sie identisch mit dem U.S. Highway 3 verläuft. Nachdem dieser die Massachusetts Avenue am Alewife Brook Parkway wieder verlässt, führt die Route 2A weiter durch Cambridge und entlang des Harvard Yard sowie des Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Am Memorial Drive kreuzt die Strecke den U.S. Highway 3 bzw. die Route 3 und überquert über die Harvard Bridge den Charles River. In Boston endet die Route 2A auf der Commonwealth Avenue an der Anschlussstelle zur Route 2 bzw. zum U.S. Highway 20.

Note: The specs specify Series D font for the numbers. However, that font does not fit when none of the characters is a one, and so those signs actually use Series C.

(United States law does not permit the copyrighting of typeface designs, and the fonts are meant to be copies of a U.S. Government-produced work anyway.) The outside border has a width of 1 (1 mm) and a color of black so it shows up; in reality, signs have no outside border. The specs actually do not show the curve on the outside border, instead making it a perfect square, but all signs I have seen round the corners.
