Massachusetts Route 134 is a 5.31-mile-long (8.55 km) north–south state highway entirely within the town of Dennis on Cape Cod in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. About 5.3 miles (8.5 km) long, Route 134 begins at an intersection with Route 28 in West Dennis. The route crosses north through Dennis, crossing US 6 at a cloverleaf interchange mid-way through. Route 134 ends at a junction with Route 6A in East Dennis, not far from Cape Cod Bay.
Route 134 was formerly a segment of Route 24, added about 1951.
Route description

After the Cape Cod Rail Trail, the area around Route 134 becomes a bunch of strip malls, condominiums and industrial buildings. The route then enters a cloverleaf interchange (exits 78A-B) with US 6 (Mid-Cape Highway). After US 6, Route 134 continues north through Dennis, consolidated to a two-lane road through local areas of Dennis. Passing recreational facilities in Dennis, the route crosses Setucket Road before turning northward again. Route 134 passes west of Dennis Pines Golf Course and its access road. After a minor curve to the northwest, Route 134 reaches its northern terminus at a junction with Route 6A (Main Street). The road continues north as Bridge Street in the East Dennis section of Dennis, heading to the Cape Cod Bay.[2]

A one mile (1.6 km) section south of Route 6 was widened to four lanes in the 1980s due to heavy commercial development. The remainder of the highway is mostly residential.[citation needed]
Around 2001, the original half-clover interchange with
