The I-93/I-95 Interchange is at the center of a regional highway system serving Massachusetts and New England. It is also a facility of importance to the host communities of Reading, Stoneham, Woburn, and neighboring towns. The study focuses on two areas that are defined in terms of interchanges on the two interstate highways. (These interchanges are numbered along each highway from south to north. The I-93/I-95 interchange in the center of the study area is designated as Exit 37 on both highways.)
At the larger scale, the Regional Focus Area extends along Route I-95 (Route 128) from the Route 3 interchange in Burlington (Exit 32) to the I-95/Route 128 split in Peabody (Exit 45). In the north-south direction, it extends along I-93 from the Route 60 interchange in Medford (Exit 32) to the Route 125 interchange in Wilmington (Exit 41). Regional travel patterns will be studied in this area. View regional highway map.
The Local Focus Area extends in the east-west direction from the I-95/Route 38 interchange in Woburn (Exit 35) to the I-95/Route 129 interchange in Reading (Exit 40). In the north-south direction, it extends from the I-93/Route 28 interchange in Stoneham (Exit 34) to the I-93/Route 129 interchange in Wilmington (Exit 38). Within the Local Focus Area, the study will examine traffic on the interstate highways, interchanges, and major local streets. Public transportation, pedestrian and bicycle routes, land use/development, economics, demographics, community quality of life, environmental and cultural resources will also be examined in areas near the highways in the Local Focus Area.
