Route description
Route 107 begins in Revere at an interchange with Route 16 (the Revere Beach Parkway) just north of the Chelsea town line. The route serves as Broadway, the main street through the city of Revere. The route intersects Route 60 at Brown Circle. From the rotary, the route becomes a limited access highway through the Rumney Marsh Reservation as the Salem Turnpike, entering Saugus over the Pines River. It continues as an expressway for roughly 2.2 miles (3.5 km) until just before the Saugus River, where the road enters Lynn via the Belden Bly Bridge.
In Lynn, Route 107 becomes Western Avenue, immediately passing the General Electric River Works. The route continues through the city, passing the western end of Lynn Commons before intersecting Route 129. The route passes Bayridge Hospital and Fraser Field before meeting Route 129A, running concurrently for approximately half a mile eastward until Route 129A turns southward.

Why this record matters
“Massachusetts Route 107” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Massachusetts, Route and State provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2484103.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
