Maine State Route 100

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

State Route 100 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maine, running from Portland to Bangor.

The south end of State Route 100 is at the intersection of Forest Avenue and Park Avenue in downtown Portland, the same place U.S. Route 302 ends. U.S. Route 1 is concurrent with US 302 and State Route 100 on Forest Avenue, and turns onto Park Avenue.

State Route 100's north end is at the intersection of Hammond Street, Main Street, State Street and Central Street in downtown Bangor; State Route 100 runs along Hammond Street with U.S. Route 2 (which continues across Main Street/Central Street onto State Street). This is also the east end of U.S. Route 202, which runs along Main Street. (State Street is one-way eastbound, so traffic on US 2 west uses Central Street.)

[edit] Concurrent routes

The majority of State Route 100 is concurrent with other routes:

U.S. Route 302, downtown Portland to northern Portland
State Route 26, northern Portland to Gray
U.S. Route 202, Gray to Augusta
U.S. Route 201, Augusta to Fairfield
State Route 11, Fairfield to Newport
U.S. Route 2, Newport to downtown Bangor

The only part of State Route 100 that does not run along another route is between US 302 and State Route 26 in northern Portland, where it is alone on a piece of Allen Avenue.
