Route Description
Route 113 begins in the west at an intersection with Route 110 in the town of Chelsea. Route 113 begins its eastward journey proceeding out of Chelsea, passing into and through the town of Vershire, serving the town center. The highway takes a turn to the south towards the town of Fairlee, where it intersects the western terminus of Route 244. Route 113 is signed as an east–west highway, but at this point is heading due south. It continues southward until crossing into the town of Thetford, where it begins to turn back to the east. Route 113 interchanges with Interstate 91 in the town, at Exit 14. The highway continues to the east, into the village of East Thetford, where it intersects U.S. Route 5 just west of the Connecticut River and the border with New Hampshire. Route 113 briefly overlaps US-5 (for about 30 yards), before turning east to cross the river. Route 113 ends at the bridge crossing, continuing as East Thetford Road in Lyme, New Hampshire, an unnumbered local road which intersects with NH-10 approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
