== Transportation== [[File:Bedford Depot Park.jpg|thumb|300px|Bedford Depot Park at the end of the [[Minuteman Bikeway]]]] === Road === Bedford is slightly northwest of the intersection of [[Interstate 95 in Massachusetts|I-95]] (also known as [[Route 128 (Massachusetts)|MA-128]]) and [[Route 4 (Massachusetts)|MA-4]]/[[Route 225 (Massachusetts)|MA-225]] (which cross in [[Lexington, Massachusetts|Lexington]]). Important roads through town include [[U.S. Route 3|US-3]] (an [[limited access road|expressway]]) and [[Route 62 (Massachusetts)|MA-62]]. ===Bus=== The town is served by the [[62 (MBTA Bus)|62]] and 62/76 lines of the [[Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority|MBTA]]'s [[MBTA bus|bus]] service. The MBTA operates the Route 351 express bus service, from Alewife; the bus terminates at Oak Park Drive, Bedford Woods, and [[EMD Serono]]; this service operates only on the morning and evening weekday rush-hour times and connects to the Red Line at Alewife. === Air === Bedford is served by [[Hanscom Field]] {{Airport codes|BED|KBED}}, a civilian [[airport]], adjacent to [[Hanscom Air Force Base]]. === Rail (defunct) === A snowstorm on January 10, 1977, prompted the end of passenger service on the Lexington Branch of the [[Boston & Maine Railroad]] (see additional notes under [[Boston and Lowell Railroad]]). The line was [[Embargo (rail)|embargoed]] four years later. In 1991, the branch was [[Rail Bank|railbanked]] by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It is now used for the [[Minuteman Bikeway]]. In the early 20th century, the [[Middlesex & Boston Street Railway]] line ran generally down Great Road (Routes [[Massachusetts Route 4|4]] and [[Massachusetts Route 225|225]]), with lines from as far west as [[Hudson, Massachusetts|Hudson]] running into Lexington and beyond. Other historic transportation systems through Bedford included the narrow-gauge [[Billerica and Bedford Railroad]] and the [[Middlesex Turnpike (Massachusetts)|Middlesex Turnpike]].
