State gateway
New England Gateway
Live eastern approach page for the Route 20 connector from eastern New York toward the Berkshire and Massachusetts entry side.
New England Gateway
New England Gateway is now the live eastern approach page in the Route 20 guide. Use it after the eastern New York pages when you want the corridor to keep reading cleanly beyond Duanesburg and into the live Berkshire and Jacob’s Ladder stretches without pretending that Massachusetts and the rest of New England are already fully built.
Best ways to use this page now
Best connector Start
Eastern New York and Capital Region Approach
Use the eastern New York region first if you want the current live corridor before stepping into the New England-facing approach.
Best First Massachusetts Region
Berkshire Gateway and Pittsfield–Lenox
Go straight to the first live Massachusetts subregion if you want the state-line connector to become a real Berkshire entry stretch.
Best State Start
Massachusetts
Use the Massachusetts state page if you want the whole current Berkshire coverage first after the New York connector and the eastward Massachusetts stretch.
Best stretch Region
Chester and Jacob's Ladder stretch
Move forward to the newest live layer if you want the Massachusetts build to continue east after Lee and Becket.
Why this gateway matters now
This page turns the eastern end of the current New York build into a cleaner corridor approach. Route 20 continues east from New York into Massachusetts at the New Lebanon–Hancock line and then moves toward Pittsfield, so the site now has a public page that acknowledges that connector and now points directly into a live seven-stretch Berkshire, Jacob’s Ladder, Springfield gateway, Wilbraham stretch, and Sturbridge stretch build without forcing a full Massachusetts or New England coverage too early.
