Editing Lynn, Massachusetts (section)

===Transportation===

Lynn has no [[Interstate Highway System|Interstate]] or controlled-access highways, the nearest being [[U.S. Route 1 in Massachusetts|U.S. Route 1]] in [[Saugus, Massachusetts|Saugus]] and [[Lynnfield, Massachusetts|Lynnfield]], and the combined [[Interstate 95 in Massachusetts|Interstate 95]] and [[Massachusetts Route 128|Route 128]] in Lynnfield. (The original design of Interstate 95 called for a route that would have paralleled Route 107 and crossed Lynn—including [[Lynn Woods Reservation|Lynn Woods]]—but the project was cancelled in 1972.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.architects.org/architectureboston/articles/roads-not-taken|title=The Roads Not Taken|website=www.architects.org|access-date=2017-06-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170819101744/http://www.architects.org/architectureboston/articles/roads-not-taken|archive-date=August 19, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bostonroads.com/roads/I-95N_MA/|title=Interstate 95-Massachusetts (North of Boston Section)|website=www.bostonroads.com|access-date=2017-06-14|archive-date=April 30, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170430193259/http://www.bostonroads.com/roads/I-95N_MA/|url-status=live}}</ref>) However, Massachusetts State [[Massachusetts Route 1A|Route 1A]], [[Massachusetts Route 107|Route 107]], [[Massachusetts Route 129|Route 129]] and [[Massachusetts Route 129A|Route 129A]] all pass through Lynn. Route 107 passes from southwest to northeast along a relatively straight right-of-way through the city. It shares a {{convert|0.5|mi|}} concurrency with Route 129A, which follows Route 129's old route through the city between its parent route and Route 1A. Route 129 passes from the north of the city before turning south and passing through the downtown area and becoming concurrent with Route 1A for {{convert|1|mi|}}. Route 1A passes from [[Revere, Massachusetts|Revere]] along the western portion of the Lynnway, a divided highway within the city, before passing further inland into [[Swampscott, Massachusetts|Swampscott]]. The Lynnway itself runs along the coastline, leading to a rotary, which links the road to Nahant Road and [[Lynn Shore Drive]], which follows the coast into Swampscott.

Lynn is served by [[Lynn station]] on the [[Newburyport/Rockport Line]] of the [[MBTA Commuter Rail]] system, as well as [[River Works station]] (which is for [[GE Aviation]] employees only). A number of [[Lynn station#Other Lynn stations|other stations]] were open until the mid 20th century. Numerous [[MBTA bus]] routes also connect Lynn with Boston and the neighboring communities. An extension of the [[Blue Line (MBTA)|Blue Line]] to downtown Lynn has been proposed, but not funded. A [[MBTA boat#North Shore|ferry service]] to downtown Boston was operated in 2014, 2015, and 2017.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/north/2014/06/04/lynn-boston-ferry-begins-run/RSva0U8tJKMA8SGGQKfubK/story.html |title=Lynn hopes ferry boosts waterfront |newspaper=Boston Globe |date=June 5, 2014 |author=Rosenberg, Steven A. |access-date=August 1, 2014 |archive-date=August 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808053700/http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/north/2014/06/04/lynn-boston-ferry-begins-run/RSva0U8tJKMA8SGGQKfubK/story.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.itemlive.com/2018/05/10/baker-says-no-ferry/ |title=Baker Says No to Ferry |newspaper=Lynn Daily Item |date=May 10, 2018 |access-date=May 12, 2018 |archive-date=May 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513081827/https://www.itemlive.com/2018/05/10/baker-says-no-ferry/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The nearest airport is Boston's [[Logan International Airport]], about {{convert|5|mi|}} south.
