95 was supposed to go to Boston too, it kind loops around, but doesn't have the three number name. Its hard to build highways through land thats already been developed, its very political:
Also of note, each highway seems to have its own wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_95_in_Massachusetts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_95_in_Massachusetts
"The original plans called for I-95 to run through downtown Boston. The highway would have progressed from Route 128 and Readville, followed the Southwest Corridor, joined the Inner Belt in Roxbury, heading east, and joining the Southeast Expressway at South Bay, then north to the Central Artery at the South Station interchange with the Massachusetts Turnpike/Interstate 90, and connecting with the Northeast Expressway at the Charlestown banks of the Charles River.
However, due to pressure from local residents, all proposed Interstate Highways within Route 128 were canceled in 1972 by Governor Francis Sargent with the exception of Interstate 93 to Boston."
