Title
Route 88 is Built and Connected to Westport
What occurred
After acquiring Horsneck as a State Reservation, the Massachusetts State Government built Route 88 in order to create better access to the town and the beaches. This contributed to Westport becoming a full-blown beach town, rather than the fishing town that it was initially, as tourists and vacationers began to arrive in droves after it was built.
