Pharmaceutical & Medical delivery in Boston — what’s local
Greater Boston's parcel density is shaped by the I-93/I-95 (Route 128) ring and the heavy customer concentration inside Route 128 — Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Back Bay, the Seaport, and the South End. Hovership's network reaches out through the Route 128 belt into Waltham, Burlington, Quincy, and the inner-MetroWest corridor, with the bulk of biotech and life-sciences volume injecting through Cambridge and Kendall Square.
