Route 213 - Loop Connector

Massachusetts Route 213

Massachusetts Route 213 connects I-93 and I-495 through the city of Methuen to the north of Lawrence. The suburban freeway travels 3.6 miles east from I-93, just south of the New Hampshire state line, to I-495 west of the Merrimack River. The state route was originally referenced as the relocated Route 113. It was open from I-93 east to a temporary end at Pleasant Valley Street on September 11, 1962. The trumpet interchange with I-495 opened in 1964 along with a new section of the beltway. It was renumbered as Route 213 at that time.1
