Default Evergreens Question

I will be building a house in MA and I need landscaping advice.
My land is very close to a highway - so I am planning to plant mature
evergreens to block the noise. I would like them to be 6 ft tall and
dense.
What would you recommend and how much approximately should I budget for
80 ft frontage?

Thanks

Some plants/trees are more sensitive than others to exhaust from
automobiles, so if it's a busy highway and/or your trees will be in
close proximity to the road, that might be another thing to consider in
deciding what to use.
