12 South/122A South -- Worcester
Ramp to reverse direction onto West Boylston Street (12 North). The ramp is primarily to allow traffic entering from 122A to travel North on 12. but it also serves as a U-turn for route 12 traffic.

Note the odd "I-190" and "I-290" text in lieu of sheilds.

Junction 122A.
