Route 32A is a short north–south state highway in central Massachusetts.
Route 32A is an alternate route to Route 32 from the village of Gilbertville in Hardwick to Petersham center. The road passes close to the eastern shore of the Quabbin Reservoir, with several entrances (gates 39-42) accessing the reservation lands along the route. It runs parallel several miles east of the former northern half of Route 21, which ran through the current Quabbin Reservoir lands prior to the reservoir's filling.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
