Route 30 is an east-west arterial, connecting Grafton with Kenmore Square in Boston. Route 30 runs roughly parallel to Interstate 90 (the Massachusetts Turnpike) and Route 9, but unlike those two larger highways, takes a more meandering path from town to town. Between Boston and the Charles River it is known as Commonwealth Avenue, along most of this route is part of the course of the Boston Marathon.
Route 30 has two interchanges with the Mass Pike, at Exits 13 in Framingham and 14 in Weston; the latter also includes the junction with Interstate 95 (Route 128). It also has two interchanges with Route 9, one in Westborough and one at the Southborough-Framingham border (where the two highways have an interchange without actually crossing), as well as a section further east in Framingham that runs concurrently with Route 9, for a total of four junctions between Routes 9 and 30.
Route 30 crosses Interstate 495 in Southborough, but there is no interchange there.
Towns passed through: Grafton, Westborough, Southborough, Framingham, Natick, Wayland, Weston, Newton, Boston.
