Interstate 190 (Massachusetts)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interstate 190 (abbreviated I-190) runs for 19.26 miles (31.00 km) north from I-290 in Worcester, Massachusetts to Route 2 in Leominster, Massachusetts. A portion of the highway was built with extra-wide shoulders, which are painted green, to prevent runoff from contaminating the nearby Wachusett Reservoir.[2] The green color is also intended to reduce the perceived width of the unusually wide road.
