In Malden, Route 60 passes through the west end past Highland Avenue and downtown, passing the Malden Center MBTA station, which has access to both the Orange Line and the Haverhill Line.

(The route was never completed due to opposition, but the ramp stubs are visible crossing the northeastern part of the circle.)

From Copeland Circle, Route 60 continues eastward, south of the Rumney Marsh Reservation.

It crosses Route 107 at Brown Circle, where 107 continues northward as a limited access highway towards Lynn.

The state will reconstruct the section from Pleasant Street to the Waltham city line in 2012.
