Route 115 Route 116

Route 115A was a state highway located in Wellesley, Newton, Brookline, and Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The route follows current Route 16 from Route 9 (numbered Route 115 at the time) to Beacon Street and follows Beacon Street from there to another junction with Route 115, which also has US 20.

It was commissioned in or before 1929[2] and decommissioned in 1932.[3][4] In 1932, Route 115A was taken over by Route 16, which would then be rerouted away from Boston proper between 1937, leaving Beacon Street unnumbered for two years before Route 9A and Route 20A were created and Route 30 was rerouted onto Beacon Street in 1939.
