Notes

[edit]

Many maps erroneously show Route 120 extending west from Route 122 to Route 146. Signage very clearly shows this to be incorrect. The routing shown on most maps continues Route 120 north on Route 122 for about one block, then heading southwest on Manville Hill Road to Route 126, where it travels north with Route 126 to Sayles Hill Road, then southwest on Sayles Hill Road to Route 146.

Though Route 120 does not extend past Route 122, a state-maintained road continues past an interchange with Route 99 to Route 146.
