Abstract: Major arterials and limited access highways in the NOAA 133 Cities Greater Boston project area. This is a geographic subset of the statewide layer owned and maintained by the Massachusetts HIghway Department. This is a content subset of the 1:25,000 scale data containing all roads in Massachusetts.
