U.S. Route 5 (US 5) is a north–south U.S. Highway extending from southern Connecticut to the northernmost part of Vermont. In Massachusetts, the route travels 53.5 miles (86.1 km), paralleling the Connecticut River and Interstate 91 (I-91) through Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin counties.

In Springfield, US 5 then overlaps with Interstate 91 (I-91) for about 0.5 miles (0.80 km), 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 Massachusetts Route 10 (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.
