MA-140 runs partially concurrent with MA-79 Truck. It is signed from Exit 10 (MA-79) to Exit 12. At Exit 12 it runs onto MA-24 where it meets its parent at Exit 9.

History

The section of modern Route 140 from West Boylston to Gardner was numbered Route 64 when it was first commissioned by 1933. By 1939, the entirety of the route was redesignated as Route 140, effectively extending existing 140 northeast (it had previously run from New Bedford and ended in Grafton).

Prior to the building of the freeway section, County Street (the section of road beginning at the Taunton River, and also known as County Road) brought the road southward through East Taunton, Berkley, Lakeville and East Freetown.
