Page "Whately, Massachusetts" Paragraph 5

Whately is crossed by Interstate 91, which passes from north to south in the town, and is accessed at Exit 23 by U. S. Route 5 and the concurrently-running Massachusetts Route 10.

The combined routes run roughly parallel to the interstate, crossing it twice in the town.

In the north of town, a short, 200-yard stretch of Route 116 follows the same road as Routes 5 & 10 before another 400-yard stretch heads east back into the town of Deerfield, a result of the realignment of the route due to the building of the interstate.

Whately shared the Pilgrim Airport, a small, general aviation airport, with neighboring Hatfield, but the field was closed and is currently used as farmland.

The nearest general aviation airport is Northampton Airport, with the nearest national air service being at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut.
