Route 28 is a nominally south–north route and
highway in the U.S. state of
Massachusetts, running from the town of
Eastham via
Boston to the
New Hampshire state line in
Methuen. Following the route from its nominally southern end, Route 28 initially heads south to the town of
Chatham then turns west to follow along the south shore of Cape Cod. In
Falmouth, Route 28 turns north and continues through the western reaches of Plymouth and Norfolk counties, and travels for a while through
Route 25. It then cuts through downtown Boston before heading north via
Lawrence to the New Hampshire state line, where it continues as
New Hampshire Route 28. Coincidentally, Route 28 travels through 28 municipalities.
