Somerville's Roads and Why Windshields Take a Beating
Somerville is one of the most densely populated cities in New England, and its road network reflects the pressure of that density. McGrath Highway — Route 28 — is the primary north-south artery through the city, carrying a heavy mix of commercial trucks, MBTA vehicles, and commuter traffic between I-93 and points south. This elevated and surface highway corridor is well known among Somerville drivers for generating windshield chips. The road surface on and approaching McGrath regularly accumulates debris from construction vehicles and loose gravel from road maintenance projects, and trucks traveling at highway speeds throw that material at windshield height for following vehicles.
Washington Street and Route 16 — which runs as Mystic Avenue through parts of Somerville — are additional high-volume roads that create chip and crack conditions throughout the city. These corridors funnel I-93 commuter traffic through Somerville in both directions, and the mix of heavy vehicles and patchy pavement makes them prime spots for glass damage. Broadway, running through Ball Square and across into Medford, sees significant delivery truck traffic from businesses along the route.
The Green Line Extension construction along the Somerville corridor brought years of heavy construction vehicle activity to Union Square and points east. Active excavation and paving left road surfaces degraded and debris-prone across a wide swath of the city. Union Square itself, with its converging traffic patterns and commercial activity, remains one of the busier and more chip-prone spots for Somerville drivers. Assembly Row generates its own glass risks: its parking garages are among the more frequently targeted in the area during overnight break-ins, and we regularly assist Somerville drivers who return to find door glass smashed.
Somerville winters add another layer of risk. The city's narrow residential streets accumulate deep potholes over the freeze-thaw cycle, and the vibration of hitting one of these potholes can convert a stable chip into a spreading crack almost instantly. Getting chips repaired before the first hard freeze each fall is one of the best investments a Somerville driver can make.
