Somerville to Logan Airport is a 6–10 mile drive that varies more by neighborhood than most riders realize. Assembly Row sits next to I-93 and can hit Logan in 12 minutes off-peak. Davis Square is roughly the same distance but routes through more congested streets and runs 18-25 minutes. This guide breaks down the timing by Somerville neighborhood, the I-93 vs Storrow route question, and how to choose the right ride for your situation.
Somerville to Logan: timing by neighborhood
| Somerville neighborhood | Off-peak time | Peak time | Best route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Davis Square | 18–25 min | 32–48 min | Mass Ave → Storrow → Sumner |
| Union Square | 15–22 min | 28–42 min | McGrath Hwy → I-93 → Sumner |
| Assembly Row | 12–18 min | 20–32 min | I-93 South → Sumner Tunnel |
| Porter Square (Somerville side) | 20–28 min | 38–55 min | Mass Ave → Storrow |
| Ball Square | 20–26 min | 36–52 min | Highland Ave → I-93 |
| Powder House Square | 20–28 min | 38–55 min | Broadway → Storrow |
| East Somerville | 12–18 min | 22–35 min | I-93 South → Sumner |
| Spring Hill | 17–24 min | 30–45 min | McGrath Hwy → I-93 |
The I-93 South vs Storrow Drive question for Somerville
From most of Somerville, two main routes lead to Logan:
- Route A: McGrath Highway → I-93 South → Sumner Tunnel — fastest from East Somerville, Union Square, Assembly Row
- Route B: Mass Ave → Storrow Drive → Sumner Tunnel — better from Davis Square, Porter Square (Somerville side), Spring Hill
Off-peak: roughly equal between the two routes — pick based on starting neighborhood. AM peak (7–9 AM): Route A wins consistently. PM peak: depends on what’s worse that day — I-93 backups vs Storrow gridlock. Friday evenings: Route A reliably faster.
Somerville-specific considerations
- Assembly Row weekend traffic: Assembly’s mall and dining traffic adds 10-15 minutes on Saturday and Sunday afternoons to any departure from the area.
- Tufts University: Move-in days (late August), graduation (mid-May), parent weekends — expect Somerville-wide congestion. Add 30 minutes.
- Davis Square parking: Pickups at Davis Square apartments are easier on side streets than on Holland or Highland Ave. Tell your driver the exact cross street.
- Union Square construction: The Green Line Extension brought ongoing road work to Union Square. Routes change month to month — drivers familiar with the area save 10+ minutes.
- Assembly Square to Logan: One of the fastest Logan trips in Greater Boston — direct I-93 South connection, no surface street congestion.
