From Wikipedia:
Interstate 291 (I-291), also known as the Springfield Expressway, is a 5.44-mile (8.75 km) auxiliary Interstate Highway in Massachusetts that links I-91 in downtown Springfield with I-90 (Massachusetts Turnpike) in Chicopee. I-291 is roughly a northeast-southwest highway. It merges with I-91 at its southwestern terminus, via a flyover. The road meets the turnpike at its northeastern terminus. Getting onto the turnpike from I-291 is straightforward, but getting from the turnpike to I-291 requires a left turn at an at-grade traffic signal. I-291 travels directly through highly populated areas of Springfield and passes under several overpasses. From its southwestern terminus to exit 5A, I-291 is concurrent with US Route 20 (US 20).
I-291 is only 22.4 miles (36.0 km) from Interstate 291 in Connecticut, and there are no intervening Interstate Highway interchanges between them.

Not even to Six Flags New England? You’re missing out if you’ve never been to Springfield

Chicopee is my hometown!

Awesome video, thank you for uploading. This car reminds me of the Honda Accord because of the whistle sound heard during acceleration at 1:25 in the video.

Nice ride in Springfield MA along interstate 291 south

[@edwardrasmussen3465]

If you notice at 5:54 that if you wish to exit at either local street rather than onto I-91, you would need to what I call "lock and load," as in get into the proper lane to properly prepare yourself. Of the times that I used the Dwight Street exit, I thought that it was rather amazing to first get onto the proper exit and then exit off that ramp. I don't believe that I have ever seen that kind of complex alignment anywhere. Perhaps someone out there can mention somewhere else that has this kind of complex exiting.

Another traffic light on the interstate system where 291 meets the Mass. Pike...

I-291 is signed as East-West. You were on I-291 West.

So the north end of I-291 is a true Breezewood...

At least it's not chock-a-block with roadside businesses the way Breezewood is...
