Is I-495 a toll road in Massachusetts?

I will be visiting my parents in Massachusetts next month, and the route takes me along Interstate 495. Is Interstate 495 a toll road?

I-495 in Massachusetts is not a toll road. Also known as the Blue Star Highway, it is an auxiliary route for I-95 that spans just over 120 miles. The conversion of the Massachusetts Turnpike improved traffic flow between I-495 and I-90 and eliminated the toll road.
Currently, the only toll road in Massachusetts is the I-90 Turnpike, which connects Massachusetts’s major cities: Boston, Worcester, and Springfield. Rates vary based on the time of day, with average rates for eastbound travel costing $7.10 maximum and westbound travel costing $10.60 maximum.
If you’re driving on toll roads, ensure you’ve set up an E-ZPass account to smoothly sail through toll gates.
