Route 15 is a short numbered highway in the U.S. state of Massachusetts, connecting Rhode Island's Route 15 with Route 152 in Seekonk.^[1]

[edit] Former Route 15

The number was formerly used for an extension of Connecticut's Route 15, now Interstate 84. It connected the Connecticut route from the state line in Holland with U.S. Route 20 and Interstate 90 (Massachusetts Turnpike) in Sturbridge. Sturbridge's Route 15 changed alignments several times over the years, as the Wilbur Cross Highway was upgraded to freeway standards; local lanes of the former Route 15 are still in use today as Haynes Street, a road parallel to I-84 that ends at Main Street (Route 131) near Town Hall.
