New Hampshire Routes

NH 112 NH 113A

New Hampshire Route 113 (abbreviated NH 113) is a 40.42-mile-long (65.05 km) east–west state highway in east-central New Hampshire. Route 113 begins in the Lakes Region at an intersection with U.S. Route 3 and New Hampshire Route 25 in Holderness, and stretches eastward across the central part of the state, ending at an intersection with U.S. Route 302 in Conway, just a few miles west of the Maine border.

[edit] Route description

[edit] New Hampshire Route 113B

NH Route 113B.svg

New Hampshire Route 113B, despite its designation, is not a loop road of New Hampshire's Route 113. The route, which never intersects nor comes close to NH 113, is a loop of Maine State Route 113, producing the very unusual situation of one state having a suffixed route off another state's highway.

[edit] History

Route 113's historic terminus was at the state line, joining US-302 in Conway, continuing a few miles eastward and abruptly ending at the border, and the road continued east as standalone US-302. This also meant that, upon US-302 crossing westbound into New Hampshire, Route 113 simply showed up on signs with US-302. Aside from this concurrency being completely unnecessary, the signage also proved potentially confusing, as US-302 intersected Maine State Route 113 just a few miles east of the border (Maine's Route 113, despite the fact that it does cross into New Hampshire twice, is unrelated to New Hampshire's Route 113).

The state has since truncated Route 113 to end at the intersection with US-302 in Conway, eliminating the concurrency. However, as of August 2011, signage has not been updated to reflect this change.
