Interstate 95 is 92 miles in the state of Massachusetts. The highway enters from the state of Rhode Island in Attleboro and travels in a northeasterly direction to the junction with Route 128 in Canton. As the original plans for I-95 (which would have taken it through downtown Boston) were cancelled, the highway follows the Route 128 loop around the Greater Boston area to Peabody. From there, 95 splits from 128 and turns north towards the Merrimack River. I-95 enters New Hampshire in Salisbury.
