    <brief>
	<notes>FULL HIGHWAY LENGTH:</notes>
      <notes>I-84 has 2 segments, one in the NE part of the country and one in the West part.  For the western section, use the 'Western segment I-84' link at left.  This description works with the eastern section of I-84.</notes>
      <notes>I-84 branches off the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90), through the heart of inland Connecticut, across southern New York and into the Pocono Mts of NE Pennsylvania.</notes>
      <notes>It acts, along with I-81, as a bypass of the major Northeast metro areas.  Between that and the fact that it is one of the few non-tolled freeway routes out of New England, I-84 carries a lot of commercial traffic going between New England and points South or West of NYC.</notes>
      <notes>On the east end, I-84 connects to I-90 (the Massachusetts Turnpike) near Sturbridge, MA.
        On the west end, I-84 connects to I-81 and the north end of I-380 in Scranton, PA.
        </notes>
	<notes>IN MASSACHUSETTS STATE:</notes>
      <notes>I-84 follows a short, unremarkable north/south section of freeway from the MA Tpk into Connecticut.</notes>
      <notes>Interchanges are numbered consecutively in Massachusetts.</notes>
      <access>
