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, New Bedford, Fall River.
