Maine State Route 113
State Route 113 (SR 113) is a state highway in southwestern Maine (and partly in extreme eastern New Hampshire). It runs from an intersection with Maine State Route 25 in Standish north to the town of Gilead, where it ends at U.S. Route 2 (US 2) near the New Hampshire border. The northern portion of the route runs along the border, and actually crosses into and out of New Hampshire twice. SR 113 is located near New Hampshire Route 113, as both routes pass through Conway, New Hampshire (linked via a short stretch of US 302). Despite this, they are two completely unrelated routes. History State Route 113 was originally designated in 1925, running along its current routing from Standish and ending in Fryeburg at the intersection with U.S. Route 302. In 1937, the route was extended northward to Gilead along an alignment near the New Hampshire border, actually crossing the border three times along the way. Between 1940 and 1941, the original routing of ...
