The Concord Rotary is a roundabout in Concord, Massachusetts. It marks the southern terminus of Route 111, eastern terminus of Route 119, and western terminus of the Route 2/2A concurrency. It is one of the busiest rotaries in the state of Massachusetts. Two other roads are also at the junction, which are Commonwealth Ave (which eventually leads to Route 62) and Barnetts Mill Road. It is a major traffic choke point, causing backups during the morning and evening. At this rotary, Route 2 becomes the Concord Turnpike (eastbound) and the Union Turnpike (westbound). It is located at mile marker 120 on Route 2, mile marker 77 on Route 2A. It can average 22,000 vehicles an hour at busy times. It is located near MCI Concord, or, Concord Prison.
