  ## Route description
  
  Route 137 begins at an intersection with Route 28 (Main Street) just east of South Chatham, within the town of Chatham. Route 137 proceeds north along Meetinghouse Road, passing a residential strip before bending northeastward. The route soon enters the community of East Harwich, crossing through some woods at the southern end. At Old Queen Anne Road, Route 137 makes a sharp turn to the northwest and enters downtown East Harwich.
  
  The route continues northwest as the main northwest–southeast road through East Harwich, passing a local cemetery, and leaving downtown East Harwich. After passing a large complex, Route 137 enters an intersection with Route 39 (Orleans Road). The route continues northwest through Harwich, becoming a residential street through town. After Pleasant Bay Road, Route 137 enters a partial cloverleaf interchange (exit 85) with US 6 (Mid-Cape Highway). After the interchange, Route 137 crosses between Cahoon and Mill ponds, continuing into the town of Brewster. Now known as Long Pond Road, Route 137 continues northwest through Brewster.
  
  The route soon reaches the community of South Brewster, becoming the main street on the far eastern side of the community. After the intersection with Brady Cartway, Route 137 turns west through Brewster, crossing the Cape Cod Rail Trail and the former South Brewster Railroad Station. A two-lane road through Brewster, the route enters an intersection with Route 124 (Harwich Road), which ends nearby.
