The Massachusetts Department of Transportation said it will begin changing exit numbers on Route 140 between Taunton and New Bedford on Sunday.

Work will typically be done during overnight hours. Contractors are required to complete a full interchange before moving to the next exit. MassDOT said work will be done from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.

“The installation of the new mileage-based exit signs will begin in Taunton and end in New Bedford,” MassDOT wrote. “After the week of October 18, crews will go corridor by corridor in the state also installing new exit signs. The contractor will move to the I-195 corridor after completion of Route 140. The complete schedule has not been confirmed beyond the Route 140 and I-195 corridors.”

MassDOT will install signs with the old exit numbers at key locations for a minimum of two years.

The change in exit numbers was announced last year as the state works to comply with a 2009 federal mandate.

Exit numbers for Route 213, I-291, and I-391 will not be changing because they are short and have exits that are generally spaced in 1-mile increments. The Lowell Connector exit numbers will not be changing as there are no mile markers currently posted along the corridor.
