Die US 1 in Topsfield

Der U.S. Highway 1 (kurz US 1) ist ein Highway, der in Nord-Süd-Richtung über eine Gesamtlänge von 3.846 km entlang der US-amerikanischen Ostküste durch mehrere Bundesstaaten von Florida bis Maine verläuft. In Massachusetts beginnt die Streckenführung im Süden an der Grenze zu Rhode Island in der Stadt Attleboro und führt in nördlicher Richtung über Boston weiter bis zur Stadt Salisbury an der Staatsgrenze zu New Hampshire.

Die Strecke südlich von Boston wird auch unter Bezeichnung Boston-Providence Turnpike geführt, während einige Teilstücke nördlich der Stadt als Northeast Expressway und Newburyport Turnpike bekannt sind.

Streckenverlauf

Die US 1 überquert die Staatsgrenze von Rhode Island kommend bei Attleboro und verläuft anschließend weitgehend parallel zur I-95 durch die Städte North Attleborough, Plainville, Wrentham, Foxborough, Walpole, Sharon, Norwood und Westwood.

Von dort aus verläuft die Strecke identisch mit der I-95 bis zur Kreuzung mit der I-93, mit der sie von Canton bis zum Bostoner Stadtzentrum identisch ist. Direkt nach der Überquerung der Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge trennt sich die US 1 wieder von der Interstate 93 und führt über die Tobin Bridge als Northeast Expressway durch die Städte Chelsea, Revere, Malden, Melrose, Saugus und Lynnfield.

Ab Lynnfield führt die US 1 wieder parallel zur I-95 durch Peabody, Danvers, Topsfield, Ipswich, Rowley, Newbury, Newburyport und Salisbury, bevor sie die Staatsgrenze nach New Hampshire überquert.

Geschichte

Die US 1 wurde in Massachusetts während der 1930er Jahre in mehreren Teilabschnitten errichtet, wobei sowohl neue Strecken gebaut als auch bereits bestehende erweitert wurden. Ein Großteil des Highways war zunächst zwei- oder dreispurig in jede Fahrtrichtung und wurde erst im Laufe der folgenden Jahre auf seine heutigen Ausmaße ausgebaut. Die Streckenführung führt teilweise über die ehemaligen Bestandteile der Lower Post Road.

Turnpikes

Der größte Teil der US 1 besteht aus den beiden ehemaligen Mautstraßen Norfolk and Bristol Turnpike und Newburyport Turnpike. Die älteren Straßen, zu denen die Turnpikes als Umgehungsstraßen konzipiert worden waren, bilden heute zu weiten Teilen die Massachusetts Route 1A.

Massachusetts Route C1

In den frühen 1930er Jahren wurde die Route C1 als Alternativstrecke zur US 1 durch das Stadtzentrum von Boston ausgewiesen, wobei der Buchstabe „C“ für Stadtstraße (englisch City Route) steht und praktisch ausschließlich im Bostoner Umfeld zum Einsatz kam. Die C1 führte entlang der Brookline Avenue, Beacon Street, der heutigen Route 28, Charles Street, Lowell Street, Merrimac Street und Cross Street bis zum westlichen Ende des Sumner-Tunnels.

In East Boston führte die Strecke weiter über die Porter Street und Chelsea Street auf die heutige Route 1A. Mit der Eröffnung des Storrow Drive und der Central Artery in den 1950er Jahren wurde die C1 verlegt, so dass sie teilweise auf diesen neuen Straßen verlief. Im Jahr 1971 wurde die C1 aufgelöst, wobei der Teil südlich des Charles River im Wesentlichen der US 1 und der Teil nördlich des Flusses zum größten Teil der Route 1A zugeteilt wurde. Der Verlauf der US 1 wurde später auf den Southeast Expressway verlagert, so dass heute die ehemalige Strecke der C1 südlich des Flusses keine Nummerierung mehr aufweist.

Verlagerung der Streckenführung in Boston

Die US 1 war auf dem Stadtgebiet von Boston bis in die 1970er Jahre hinein ein Ersatz für die ursprünglich geplante Trasse der I-95 entlang des Northeast Expressway nördlich des Stadtzentrums.[2] In den späten 1980er Jahren wurde die US 1 in Erwartung der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 1994 auf die I-93 verlegt, so dass die alte Streckenführung über den VFW Parkway, Jamaicaway, Riverway und Storrow Drive durch Dedham, Brookline, West Roxbury und weitere Bostoner Stadtteile seither nicht mehr nummeriert ist.

Northeast Expressway

Der Northeast Expressway befindet sich nördlich des Bostoner Stadtzentrums und verläuft von der Kreuzung zwischen I-93 und US 1 in Charlestown über den Mystic River durch Chelsea und Revere. Während er zu Beginn aufgeständert ist, verläuft er ab dem nördlichen Chelsea ebenerdig und endet an der Grenze zwischen Revere und Saugus.

Ursprünglich sahen die Pläne vor, die Straße in Richtung Norden von Saugus ausgehend über Lynn und Lynnfield bis Peabody zu verlängern, um an der heutigen Kreuzung zwischen der I-95 und Route 128 in Peabody zu enden. Von 1955 bis 1973 war die Strecke in Erwartung des letztlich jedoch nie erfolgten Ausbaus als I-95 ausgewiesen.[2]
