Braintree Split
The Braintree Split is the interchange of Interstate 93/U.S. Route 1 and Massachusetts Route 3 located along the city line separating Braintree and Quincy, Massachusetts. The Braintree Split was also the southern end of Route 128 until 1997, when Route 128 was truncated to the I-95/I-93 intersection in Canton.〔(Yankee Division Highway Historic Overview ) bostonroads.com.〕 Weekday traffic volume through the intersection averages 250,000 to 275,000 vehicles per day.〔("I-93/Southeast Expressway/Route 3 (Braintree Split): ''Operational Assessment and Potential Improvements''" ) Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization, March 2006, p. 3. 〕 The term "Braintree Split" is used as a focal point in all local radio and television traffic reports.〔Weinreb, Michael, (Traffic Report ), Boston Magazine, May 2002.〕
==Boston's southern gateway==
The Braintree Split, technically a "Directional T" type of interchange, is the main road gateway to the South Shore region of Massachusetts, making it a critical point in Boston's highway system. The Southeast Expressway is the single limited access highway traveling south out of Boston, carrying traffic from the city destined for communities in populous Norfolk (659,909 residents) and Plymouth (492,066 residents)〔 counties, partly due to the 1973 cancellation of the planned Southwest Corridor alignment of Interstate 95 into Boston. Drivers other than those headed for parts of Milton and Quincy which straddle the Expressway traverse the split to connect with Route 3 and Route 24 traveling to the more southern localities. Similarly, Boston traffic bound for cities and towns in southeastern Massachusetts including western Norfolk and Bristol County (545,823 residents)〔 and in Rhode Island negotiate the Braintree Split prior to continuing along Route 24 or Interstate 95. Finally, Route 3 serves as the primary freeway route to Cape Cod from Boston's Inner Core. Travelers headed north from these destinations into Boston via I-93〔Note: Interstate 93 and U.S. Route 1 run concurrently from Canton to Charlestown in Massachusetts. For this article, "I-93" refers to both routes running together in the Boston area.〕 likewise encounter the interchange in Braintree.
