The Lowell Connector, officially the American Legion Connector Highway, is a 2.88-mile-long (4.63 km) freeway serving as a connector in the Massachusetts State Highway System that links nearby U.S. Highway 3 (US 3) and Interstate 495 (I-495) to downtown Lowell, Massachusetts. The freeway has its southern terminus at US 3 and its northern terminus in downtown Lowell, where it feeds into city streets shortly after an interchange with Route 3A. This alignment, nearly parallel to Route 110, provides much of Lowell with a direct freeway route to the Boston area to the south, and convenient (but slightly roundabout) freeway access to Lowell's eastern and western suburbs by way of Route 3 and I-495.
