New England Interstate Route 11 (NE-11), also known as the Manchester-Biddeford Route, is a New England Interstate Route running from Manchester, Vermont to Fort Kent, Maine. Originally, the route connected Manchester in Vermont to Biddeford, Maine via Franklin, New Hampshire. While the old route remains mostly intact as same numbered state highways in Vermont and New Hampshire, Maine rerouted its Route 11 northward by several hundred miles from Sanford all the way to Fort Kent. The original eastward alignment to Biddeford was re-designated as State Route 111 (connected to current Route 11 by U.S. Route 202). The current alignment of State Route 11 runs roughly parallel to Interstate 95 in Maine.
