Editing Fall River, Massachusetts (section)

===Road===
[[Interstate 195 (Rhode Island–Massachusetts)|I-195]] is the main east–west artery through the city for motorists. The highway enters Fall River from Somerset via the [[Charles M. Braga Jr. Memorial Bridge]], continuing through the center of the city to The Narrows and eastwards into Westport. I-195 connects Fall River to [[New Bedford, Massachusetts|New Bedford]] and [[Cape Cod]] to the east and [[Providence, Rhode Island|Providence]] to the west. The highway roughly parallels both the Bay Colony/New Bedford Cape Cod Railroad as well the original path of the Quequechan River. In 1999, a cement ceiling tile fell from the roof of the tunnel beneath Government Center, landing on several cars and causing minor injuries.<ref>{{Cite web |last=writers |first=Ric Oliveira and Mary Jo Curtis, Standard-Times staff |title=Overpass crumbles |url=https://www.southcoasttoday.com/story/news/1999/03/04/overpass-crumbles/50533574007/ |access-date=2023-09-09 |website=New Bedford Standard-Times |language=en-US}}</ref>

After crossing the river, it intersects with MA 79 (West Fall River Expressway) and parallels the highway for a few blocks. At President Avenue. it turns east, splitting from MA 138 and following the avenue until it reaches a circle with Eastern Avenue and Exit 5 of MA 24. It then turns southwards onto Eastern Avenue, which it follows until US 6 reaches Maritime Street, where it turns back east, paralleling I-195 in the Narrows until it reaches Westport.
* [[File:MA Route 24.svg|frameless|20x20px]] [[Massachusetts Route 24|MA 24]] (Fall River Expressway) - This highway enters Fall River from [[Tiverton, Rhode Island|Tiverton]]. (as [[Rhode Island Route 24|RI 24]]) A few exits are contained in the city, including one for MA 81, a brief overlap with I-195, and an interchange with MA 79.

It continues northwards through the western edge of the city by the river, intersecting with US 6 and then goes up to MA 24 in the northern end of the city, continuing its overlap with the highway until Freetown.
