History
NH 113's historic terminus was at the state line, joining US-302 in Conway, continuing a few miles eastward and abruptly ending at the border, and the road continued east as standalone US-302. This also meant that, upon US-302 crossing westbound into New Hampshire, Route 113 simply showed up on signs with US-302. Aside from this concurrency being completely unnecessary, the signage also proves potentially confusing, as US-302 intersects Maine State Route 113 just a few miles east of the border. Maine's Route 113, despite the fact that it does cross into New Hampshire twice, is unrelated to New Hampshire's Route 113.
The state has since truncated Route 113 to end at the intersection with US-302 in Conway, officially eliminating the concurrency. However, as of August 2011, signage had not been updated to reflect this change.

—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”
