, Orange to US 3

MA 2 is a Super-2 freeway in the vicinity of Orange. It widens into a four-lane bona fide freeway, only to mysteriously turn into a divided arterial (with, y'know, traffic lights and driveways) in Acton. Part of the subsequent Concord bypass is undivided four-lane, and then at I-95 the freeway suddenly picks back up again. Why it ends at US 3 in Cambridge is a matter discussed on other pages on my site - prowl around MA 2 and US 3 a bit more.
