Original route edit

Someone knowing more about the original path of Route 79 may want to add a section. I know before Route 24 was built, Route 79 travelled south on South Main Street in Assonet all the way to the city line with Fall River, and presumably it continued south on North Main Street in Fall River. Where it went from there, I don't know. Sahasrahla (talk) 18:48, 21 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Not sure. Interestingly, I took a look at a map of the state from 1946 (http://cartweb.geography.ua.edu:9001/StyleServer/calcrgn?cat=North%20America%20and%20United%20States&item=States/Massachusetts/Massachusetts1946a.sid&wid=500&hei=400&props=item%28Name,Description%29,cat%28Name,Description%29&style=simple/view-dhtml.xsl), and it doesn't show 79. In fact, the route 79 now travels between County Street and Route 18 isn't even shown as paved. Will keep looking. ToddC4176 (talk) 22:21, 11 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Removal of picture edit

I've removed the picture of the "end" of Route 79. According to maps, signage and mileage, Route 79 South does not continue past the I-195 and 138 split. The picture shows the split along the I-195 ramp between the ramps to eastbound and westbound.ToddC4176 (talk) 21:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
