I think others have given OP the answer.

But seriously, without hyperbole (and I should say, also without a shred of actual evidence), it seems to me that between the start of 190 at the Rt. 2 split in Leominster and the end of 290 at 395 in Auburn, I cannot think of a time since the 90's when there hasn't been construction somewhere along that route.

I'm sure someone can prove me wrong factually. It just feels that way trying to think back.

If you include the section of 290 from the 190 split out to 495, then fuck it. I have to be right. Right?
