It is always interesting to see something of the past and how it shaped the present day. However, I think it must be stated that you could only imagine what would have been if the highway progress wasn't stopped when it did. Luckily, remnants of the time is still completely visible on Google Maps so here is a little guide, starting from the south working northward....
Canton, MA: Where I-95 makes a sharp turn and I-93 ends, you can actually see the clove-leaf intersection with 2 pigtails heading north. This was where I-95 was suppose to continue into Boston. If you continue northward from there, you will get past the woods to the Providence/Stoughton Commuter Rail line. You can continue on that rail line (eventually connecting to the MBTA Orange Line) into Boston to see where the I-95 was suppose to go.
Boston, MA: On the Boston side, you can see the bottom portion of the Inner City Beltway and in fact, people drive along it every day. However, it goes by a different name, Melnea Cass Blvd/Mass Ave Connector.
Somerville, MA: Although there was great discussion of the highway being proposed to go through Cambridge, MA, it should be noted of where the northern section of the Inner City Beltway was to be connected to present day I-93. Looking at Somerville where the I-93 Northbound exit towards Sullivan Square and where Storrow Drive connects to I-93, you can still see the little offshoot where the northern portion was suppose to begin.
