Access Road


I always forget that ORH sits not only on Worcester land but Leicester as well. Although I do not recall the exact split, I was surprised how much of ORH is technically Leicester. Why am I bringing this up??

Access road....

Any route across the City will be very difficult to get approval and the cost would be very very expensive. Consider an access road off the Mass Pike onto Route 56. There is plenty of room at this interchange to build entrances and exits. Route 56 is wide already from the MassPike until you hit Leicester Center.

It would not only be an access road to the airport but also relieve the traffic through Worcester for people living West of the City. Best part is the toll collections for this new exit can defray the cost.

If you live west of Worcester, Paxton , Rutland, etc, it can literally take over a half hour to simply get across the city to a highway. An exit off the MassPike onto 56 could not only be used, ultimately for the airport, but as an alternative to alleviate traffic flow across the City of Worcester.

The Millbury exits do nothing to help people west of the city.
