Route 128

Route 128, also known as the Massachusetts Route 128, is a major highway loop surrounding Boston's suburbs in Massachusetts. It functions as a key transportation corridor, providing access to numerous high-tech companies and research institutions, earning it the nickname "America's Technology Highway." Originally built in the 1930s and expanded in the 1950s, it helped foster the region's development into a prominent technology hub, similar to California's Silicon Valley. Today, Route 128 remains vital for commuting, commerce, and connecting the Boston metropolitan area’s business districts.
