Massachusetts Turnpike

The Massachusetts Turnpike (commonly shortened to the MassPike or The Pike) is the easternmost 138-mile (222 km) stretch of Interstate 90. The Turnpike begins at the western border of Massachusetts in 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, Worcester, and Boston, and ends at Logan International Airport in East Boston, where the road meets Route 1A. The highest point on the Turnpike is in the Town of Becket in the Berkshire Hills, at elevation 1,724 feet (525 m) above sea level; this is also the highest point on Interstate 90 east of Oacoma, South Dakota.
