>New Hampshire Route 113B is a 3.95-mile (6.36 km) long loop road in the states of Maine and New Hampshire. Despite its designation, Route 113B never intersects its implied "parent", New Hampshire Route 113, nor does it ever approach it. Instead, Route 113B is a loop off Maine State Route 113, producing the very unusual situation of one state having a suffixed route off another state's highway.
NH 113B starts at State Route 113 in Stow, runs approximately one mile west into New Hampshire, then turns north. The route crosses the border back into Stow, and ends mere feet later at State Route 113. This intersection lies feet south of where State Route 113 crosses into North Chatham, New Hampshire.
Of the route's 3.95 miles (6.36 km), 2.95 are in New Hampshire. The sections of the highway in Maine are under MaineDOT maintenance, and are technically considered a townway (unnumbered highway).
This is the only instance in New Hampshire of a suffixed route carrying the numerics for a highway signed in another state. A similar instance exists in Massachusetts with Massachusetts Route 114A, a loop of Rhode Island Route 114. (Rhode Island Route 114A is the designation for the small portions of this loop within Rhode Island)
This is also the only instance where a New Hampshire state route crosses entirely into another state but remains signed as a New Hampshire route. New Hampshire Route 153 runs along a small portion of the state line between New Hampshire and Maine, but never crosses completely into Maine.
