Heading North

From Back Bay (West of Charles Street)

Starting point: Charlesgate

Take Storrow Drive West (outbound) and follow it as it becomes Soldiers Field Road.

Near the Harvard Stadium, Soldiers Field Road swings left; you should stay straight and drive over the Eliot Bridge.

Follow signs for Route 2 West.

At the first rotary on Fresh Pond Parkway, at the Sozio furniture store, follow the rotary ¾ of the way around in order to stay on the parkway.

At the next rotary, just down the road, stay right and drive past the Fresh Pond Shopping Center (on your right) and up over the bridge.

At the second set of lights after the bridge, bear left to get on Route 2 West.

Take Route 2 West to Route 128 / I-95 North.

Take the appropriate exit for your town.

Expect delays on Storrow Drive, at both rotaries, and on Route 128.
