US 5 stays very close to the Connecticut River and I-91. It enters the state at the town of Longmeadow on the east bank of the river going up to Springfield. In Springfield, US 5 then overlaps with I-91 for about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) and then separates as its own freeway crossing the Connecticut River on the South End Bridge into Agawam. The freeway portion travels for about 3.3 miles (5.3 km) up to West Springfield. From the town of Northampton up to Bernardston, US 5 travels concurrent with Route 10 for 26 miles (42 km). US 5 also passes through Holyoke, Hatfield, Whately, Deerfield, and Greenfield. As in Connecticut and Vermont, US 5 has many interchanges with the parallel I-91.
