From Wikipedia:
Interstate 93 (I-93) is an Interstate Highway in the New England states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont in the United States. Spanning approximately 190 miles (310 km) along a north-south axis, it is one of three primary Interstate Highways located entirely within New England; the other two are I-89 and I-91. The largest cities along the route are Boston, Massachusetts, and Manchester, New Hampshire; it also travels through the New Hampshire state capital of Concord.
I-93 begins at an interchange with I-95, US Route 1 (US 1) and Route 128 in Canton, Massachusetts. It travels concurrently with US 1 beginning in Canton, and, with Route 3 beginning at the Braintree Split on the Braintree-Quincy city line, through the Central Artery in Downtown Boston before each route splits off beyond the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge. The portion of highway between the Braintree Split and the Central Artery is named the "Southeast Expressway", while the portion from Boston to the New Hampshire state line is named the "Northern Expressway".
I-93 ends in Waterford, Vermont, at I-91. For most of its length, I-93 indirectly parallels US 3. In New Hampshire, the two highways have several interchanges with each other, as well as a concurrency through Franconia Notch State Park.

Nice scenery 👌

[@DWNY358]

Yes, and it gets even better after where he stopped. Some of the best scenery from an interstate in the Eastern US is I-93 through the Whites/Franconia Notch.

[@MileageMikeTravels]

@@DWNY358 Definitely wanted to see that area but the blizzard came through to squash those ideas this time around. I hope to see it sometime later this year though.

I Love The Highway

[@user-re5wo5vv3m]

It's nice that 93 between Salem and Manchester is now 4 lanes from being 2 lanes, it helped with the flow of traffic.

[@rjmcallister1888]

Well, at least they're giving fair warning about the weather. Pleasant drive.

In this video, you were driving within 5 counties: Middlesex County MA, Essex County MA, Rockingham County, NH, Hillsborough County NH & Merrimack County NH. Not only that, you drove in 3 metro areas in there. •Greater Boston: -Middlesex County, MA -Essex County, MA -Rockingham County, NH •Metropolitan Manchester-Nausha, NH: -Hillsborough County, NH (only county) •Micropolitan Concord, NH: -Merrimack County, NH (only county)

Awesome drive along I 93 North

Nice ride along interstate 93 north from Boston MA to Concord NH

New Hampshire is so beautiful thank you so much for sharing

[@edwardrasmussen3465]

At the beginning of the video you are actually in Woburn MA. Prior to the junction with I-95 / MA 128 you are in Stoneham for about 0.20 mile before entering Reading and then reentering Woburn. Also, you have Londonderry NH misspelled as Londerberry in the small graphic. South Hooksett is not actually a town AFAIK. According to Wikipedia it is a CDP, a part of Hooksett. Before I moved to Texas, I-93 north of Exit 1 in NH narrowed to 2 lanes. The result of the widening to 4 lanes to the southern junction with I-293 has created an anomoly. From just south of Tewksbury MA to Exit 1 in Salem NH, I-93 is 3 lanes in each direction, down from 4 lanes in each direction north and sourh of these points, with much of the MA portion allowing breakdown lane (shoulder) travel during the weekday rush hour, something which I am opposed as it is very hazardous, especially if you are trying to enter or exit I-93 from any of the intermediate on/off-ramps.

Drove through my town of Andover, MA

[@markmoore8399]

I guess the exit for NH 101 EB was built when the US was considering going metric.

[@user-dz8ds1hw4r]

Different states 😊

[@markmoore8399]

32:51 I see NH is doing a NC with that unisign.

[@StephCurrysIsAFilthyCoon]

NH been doing that on all their highway concurrencies in fact I believe NC only does the unisign with I-87

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

I have a feeling about signing both state capitals along I-93. Why didn't they sign Lawrence MA and Manchester NH for northbound, but instead, they sign Concord NH next? After all, they're more populous than the state capital, but signing the state capital is important to me too. I have a suggestion to sign cities for northbound I-93 between Boston and Concord NH.: •Boston (southern terminus) -Lawrence, MA (leaving Downtown Boston | interchange with I-90/Mass Tpke) •Manchester, NH (interchange with I-495 MA) •Concord, NH (interchange with I-293)

If you don't already, you might enjoy the YT channel 'Control City Freak' where Todd highlights control cities on each of the major American interstates. He is up to I-88 now.

[@ianp1745]

@@DWNY358yeah, i definitely think he is a great channel of you are interested in this kind of stuff

[@edwardrasmussen3465]

Lawrence MA was formerly on the signs on northbound I-93 starting in Boston prior to the Big Dig. The signage was changed to Concord NH after the Big Dig was completed.

[@edwardrasmussen3465]

@@DWNY358 I can't wait until he gets to I-89. Todd probably will say that it starts in the middle of nowhere and goes through the middle of nowhere! I reference what he said at the beginning of the eastern I-84 video, calling its eastern terminus "in the middle of nowhere."

[@DWNY358]

@@edwardrasmussen3465 Ha! Yes, I remember that too.

[@hermeslein6614]

Why can't you just drive at actual city instead of Hghways!!

[@kennethobrien6537]

I find it helpful to share to friends who are unfamiliar with the exits and area. Gotta get off the highway before you go into town right?

[@ayelavish]

Y don’t u stop fucking complaining and watch the video

[@shannadowd7176]

He has - he posted a few videos just in the past week or 2 driving through streets of several cities in Mass (Boston; Worcester; etc)

[@BradRains]

Check the play lists there a boatload of city/downtown drives.

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Because I can do both and both generate views. Pretty easy to just watch the videos you like and ignore the ones you don't. Thanks for watching.
