History
The western portion of I-293 is part of the Everett Turnpike, although this portion is toll-free. The southern section from the turnpike to exit 4 in Manchester opened to traffic on 20 August 1955. On August 29, 1957, the remainder of the route opened along the west side of Manchester. Then the southern link had to be constructed, which was initially numbered I-193. This link opened to traffic in 1961. In 1977, I-193 was renumbered I-293 and I-293 was extended over the toll-free portion of the Everett Turnpike along Manchester.

Every day, 82,000 to 87,000 vehicles drive on the south side of Manchester, then drop to 65,000 to 44,000 vehicles on the north-south side through Manchester.
