I discovered this a couple of years ago, while returning from court in 
Brockton, coming up Route 24.  How was I to know that Route 128 North was 
now called Route 93 South?  Apparently the Feds have decided that Route 
128 must coincide with Interstate 95, so Route 128 ends at the point where 
I-95 breaks off south.

Of course, the reason Route 128 was given Federal Interstate route numbers 
was so as to get Federal highway money to maintain them.
