History Route 203 was formed in the early 1970s as part of a large Boston-area renumbering. Most of the route had been part of Route 3, which came south along the Jamaicaway with U.S. Route 1 and split to the east along present Route 203. Route 3 turned south at Granite Avenue to join the Southeast Expressway in Milton, and Route 3A began where Route 3 turned. With the renumbering, Route 3 was kept on the Southeast Expressway into downtown, Route 3A was truncated to its current end, and the former Route 3 and Route 3A became Route 203. While the former routes had been signed north-south, the new route was signed east-west.
