Eastern Mass commute route advise/feedback?

So I'm going to do this crazy commute at least a couple times this season maybe a couple times a week if I'm not going to die. Involves back roads and Rt. 117 from Berlin, MA to the Longwood Medical area in Boston. A little over 34 miles each way. I'd be leaving at about 5:30 AM to get to work on time.

Yes it's long, no I won't be doing his more than a few times a week at most and probably not round trip on the same day unless I'm feeling particularly energetic that day. I'm mostly concerned with safety and traffic. Mainly I don't want to end up on narrow roads that are frequently traveled by large trucks.

Thanks!
