there is a shorter way, when you get to the end of 195 go west or north on 495 take first exit(2) head towards carver on rte. 58 and basically just keep going straight. this will bring you out on rte.44 at rte.3. if you look up directions from new bedford to plymouth on maps.com it gives you a pretty good description and map. just don't want to get anyone lost. we could always meet in the rest area on 195 in marion around 4am to go in the back way
