Route 213 is a 3.56-mile-long (5.73 km) freeway in Massachusetts. It connects Interstate 93 (I-93) with I-495 in Methuen, Massachusetts, just south of the New Hampshire border. The highway is a northern bypass of Route 113, which serves the downtown area, and derives its own number from it.

There is a nearby shopping center known as The Loop, so called because of the designation of Route 213 as the 'Loop Connector'.

According to MassDOT, Route 213 carries approximately 45,000 vehicles per day.[3]
