The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority has installed web site traffic cameras, the latest addition to M.A.P., the Motorist Advantage Program, an informational outreach initiative from the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority and the Central Artery / Tunnel Project designed to comprehensively educate the public on the Artery Project and to help motorists navigate the Artery roadways.
The web site traffic cameras can be found at www.masspike.com and by clicking on “Live TrafficCam†on the left hand side of the page.
“We are very excited to launch this new facet of our web site and to the Motorist Advantage Program,†said Chairman Matthew J. Amorello. “This is a great technological enhancement for motorists to use before they leave for their daily commutes. With all of the Central Artery / Tunnel Project’s recent openings, real-time traffic information will help not only our internal staff at the Operations Control Center, but also help the general public during critical travel times.â€
There are five traffic cameras on www.masspike.com in the downtown Boston area:
I-93 Northbound, at the entrance to the I-93 Northbound Tunnel
I-93 Northbound, exiting the tunnel and up onto the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge
I-93 Northbound toward Boston, which shows I-93 North and Southbound traffic
Traffic views of I-90 Westbound, with the on-ramp to I-93 Northbound
I-90 East and Westbound, which shows the exit to I-93 Northbound from I-90 Westbound
The traffic cameras will show approximately 12 seconds of video per selected camera.

Winter Storm Warning Issued for Berkshires
Another snowstorm is expected to move through the region overnight on Friday, bringing 5 to 8 inches of snow. This is updated from Thursday's winter weather advisory.
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has posted a winter storm warning for all of Berkshire County and parts of eastern New York State beginning Friday at 4 p.m. through Saturday at 1 p.m.
The region could see heavy to moderate snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour overnight, tapering off Saturday morning to flurries.
Drivers should exercise caution on Friday night and Saturday morning, as travel conditions may be hazardous.
Saturday night should be clear and calm, but warming temperatures means freezing rain Sunday night and rain through Monday with highs in the 40s. The forecast isn't much better through the week as temperatures dip back into the teens with New Year's Eve looking cloudy and frigid.
Many homeowners are showing their holiday spirit by decorating their houses. We asked for submissions so those in the community can check out these fanciful lights and decor when they're out.
