onto the expressway). After a minimum of 15 minutes through high traffic
area the expressway splits, bear right on Rte 93, direction Dedham, New
York. (Don't follow sign to Rte 3 to Cape Cod at this point). After the
split you are merging into a wider highway, move within the next two miles
over to the left lane to take the only left exit to Route 24 South to Brockton,

exit to Cape Cod (after passing under Route 495). After 30 minutes you
cross over the Cape Cod Canal Bridge in Bourne.
On the traffic circle at the end of the bridge follow signs to Route
28, direction to Falmouth and the Islands. After 15 minutes the divided
highway becomes a two-lane country road. Take a left at the first traffic
light (Jones Road). You come to a second traffic light after a half mile.
Here you take different turns depending on the hotel you booked.
For the Coonamesett Inn take a left turn at this traffic light, the
inn is immediately on your right. For the Shore Acres Inn take a right
turn at this traffic light (Gifford Street). This road ends after a mile,

Bridge as above.
