(Redirected from Route 127 (Massachusetts))
'Route 127' is a north-south
Massachusetts state route that runs from
Beverly to
Gloucester. Much of the route is in
Cape Ann.
Starting in Beverly at
Route 22 near where it meets
Route 1A, Route 127 heads east-
northeast through
Manchester-by-the-Sea and Gloucester (where it first meets
Route 128), then north into
Rockport, Massachusetts. The route then turns south back into Gloucester, where it ends at Route 128 in Grant Circle, which is a
rotary.
History
Route 127's route in 1930 was almost identical to the current route
[1]. However, it originally continued south of Grant Circle to end at itself.
[2] It was likely cut back in the mid 1990s.
