Termini and Mileage (2006)

Termini
Main alignment: Int of NORWAY RD, VALLEY RD, Waterford to Int of MAIN ST, PARIS ST, Norway
Mileage
Main alignment: 13.04 miles (total over all segments)

Notes and History
ME 118 as originally designated in 1925 ran between Norway and Bethel, with both termini at NEI 26 (now ME 26), using a V-"bend" near North Waterford. Its routing in Bethel was slightly different than modern ME 5; see ME 5. After the Maine Great Renumbering, the portion north of N. Waterford was co-signed with the new ME 35 and portions ME 5; in 1937-8, its western terminus was brought back to the Waterford "bend" instead and the orphaned alignment entirely signed over to ME 35. ME 35 was later moved to a different alignment north of North Waterford; see ME 35.
As for the eastern terminus, originally ME 118 ended at ME 117 at what is now the corner of Lake and Harrison. Sometime in the 1970s/1980s, the cosignage was extended an extra two miles east to the corner of Main and Paris, which remains its routing today; the exact date of this change is unclear.
