Route 240 is a short south–north state highway in southeastern Massachusetts.

Route description

Route 240 acts as a connector between U.S. Route 6 and I-195 in Fairhaven. There are ghost ramps at the northern end of the highway that suggest that Route 240 was intended to continue north of I-195. This is visible from an aerial view. [1] Most maps indicate that this divided highway is one that has limited access, but that is not true as there is an at-grade intersection with traffic signals at Bridge Street, just north of U.S. 6.
