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.

North Adams Clothing Store Moving to Larger Space
Staff Reports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Label Shopper is moving across the parking lot to the former Peebles location in April.
The discount clothing store has been located in the downtown's L-shaped mall downtown since 2009. It replaced Fashion Bug, which had been in that spot for 24 years before closing in 2007; the company liquidated in 2013.
Label Shopper is part of Peter Harris Clothes, established in 1970 by Peter Elitzer. Starting as a single store in Latham, N.Y., offering brand-name apparel at discount prices, the company operates more than 70 stores throughout the Northeast and Midwest.
The store is set to close on April 6 for the move and reopen on April 9 in the former Gordmans, according to signage.
Gordmans briefly replaced Peebles in the former Kmart until the parent company of the two brands declared bankruptcy and closed its stores in 2020.
At 17,250 square feet, the Gordman's space is at least double the size of Label Shopper's current location.
