[edit] Route Description

Route 193 begins at an intersection with Route 12 in the southern part of the town of Thompson. It heads east over I-395 without an intersection, then turns northeast. Route 193 meets the north end of Route 21 a mile later before entering the town center of Thompson, where it has a junction with Route 200. North of the town center, it continues northeast and north, paralleling I-395 for another five miles to the Massachusetts state line, continuing as MA Route 193. Route 193 is known as Thompson Road.^[1] Route 193 is classified as a collector road and carries average daily traffic of about 2,500 vehicles.

[edit] History

Part of Route 193, between Route 12 and the intersection with East Thompson Road, used to be part of the Boston Turnpike, a toll road that operated from 1797 to approximately 1879. In 1922, a loop route of New England Route 12 through Thompson center was designated as State Highway 185. The road from Thompson center north to the Massachusetts state line was designated as a secondary route known as State Highway 336. Modern Route 193 was established in the 1932 state highway renumbering from part of old Highway 185 and the entirety of Highway 336. It has had no major changes since then.^[2]
