MA 8A

MA 8A Information: There are two MA 8As - one is the loop in North Adams, the other is the Spur that goes from Windsor to Vermont.

History/Facts: The Loop MA 8A used to be MA 8 until the 1970s. See the MA 8 page for more information about it. The Spur MA 8A was built in the 1930s, but was not signed as MA 8A until the 1950s.

Interesting mileage sign there.

I don't think this road is dirt permanently; it looks like it's supposed to be rebuilt - note the elevation difference between the grass and driveways.

Watch for Bikes.
