New England Interstate Route 11 (NE-11), also known as the Manchester-Biddeford Route, was a New England Interstate Route running from Manchester, 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.

Famous quotes containing the words england, interstate and/or route:
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
