Interstate 95 in Massachusetts

History

The original plans involved to conduct the I-95 through the city center of Boston by Readville and along the Southwest Corridor through Roxbury. From there, the plan called for the continuation eastward along the Southeast Expressway in South Bay, and then head north to the Central Artery at the junction to the Massachusetts Turnpike. From there, the connection to the North East Expressway in Charlestown along the banks of the Charles River was planned.

However, all plans for Interstate Highways within the route of the Massachusetts Route 128 were abandoned due to protests by local residents ( with the exception of I-93 ) in 1972 by then- Governor Francis W. Sargent. The only completed by the predecessor organizations of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation cuts passed in the North East Expressway from Charlestown to Saugus (now part of U.S. Highway 1) and the Central Artery, which separates Boston's North End from downtown.

From 1972 to 1974 provided for the now new plans that lead to I-95 along a northern extension of the North East Expressway to Route 128 in the north-west Danvers. At this time, led the I-95 officially from Canton to Braintree and north along the Southeast Expressway from Braintree to Boston, then to follow the Central Artery and continue along the North East Expressway in Boston, Chelsea and Revere.

However, as the expansion of the Northeast Expressway between Saugus and Danvers was abandoned in 1974, the route of I-95 got its present form. The I-93 was extended in order to meet in Canton I-95. Towards the end of the North East Expressway to the Saugus River, Saugus tracks can still be seen today these plans - along the unbuilt route from Saugus to Route 128 are unused bridges, ramps to nowhere and already straightened, but not paved roadways, which I-95 should take.
