Northerly view from the Melnea Cass Boulevard overpass overtop of
Interstate 93 looking into Boston. Boston is the largest and most
dominant centre in New England. The City has escaped many of the
negative effects of suburbanization that other large US cities have had. |

Northerly
view from Causeway Street across the Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge and I-93.
The Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge was constructed in 2003 and is reportedly the widest
cable stayed bridge in the world. Steve Anderson has compiled an
in-depth history of the Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge and as well as the
Central Artery in Boston. |

View
looking northerly towards the Commerce Way interchange. I don't
know how new the Commerce Way interchange is, but it obviously was
constructed after the mainline of I-93. Its a little bit ironic
that I-93 would meet as many freeways as it does at tight cloverleaf
interchanges yet the interchange for Commerce Way is a three-level
semi-directional 'T'. |

Advanced signage for Dascomb Road interchange. This sign is
situated just north of where I-93 narrows to a six-lane cross-section.
In an attempt to combat traffic congestion, motorists are permitted to
drive within the outside shoulder during peak afternoon periods Monday
to Friday. Notice the extra wide 'Emergency Pullout' located
behind the sign gantry. |

Advanced signage for both the Route 133 and I-95 interchanges.
Interestingly, Route 128 is not shown running concurrent with I-495 on
this signage. Route 128 shares its southern terminus with I-495 at
the I-93 interchange, continuing concurrent with I-495 past I-95 before
terminating at Route 127 in Gloucester. |

Massachusetts is one of those states where the majority of suburban

Advanced signage marking the end of Autoroute 5, amid the approaching
Gatineau Hills. What I found striking about this photo (and the
view when I took the photo) was that a driver can't see the freeway
exiting the valley ahead. The Gatineau Hills are a stark contrast
to the near pancake flat plains of the Lower Ottawa Valley in Ontario. |

Overhead guide signage for the I-495 interchange. Like at I-95,
I-93 intersects I-495 at a large cloverleaf interchange. North of
I-495, I-93 has four interchanges with minor roads and highways that
lead into Lawrence before entering New Hampshire. I-93 is the
principal North-South interstate through the State of New Hampshire,
terminating at I-91 near the Vermont Border in the far north of the
state. |
