Termini and Mileage (2006)

Termini
Main alignment: Int of RTE 8, POND RD, Sidney to Int of ROUTE 23, ST RTE 6, Guilford
Mileage
Main alignment: 68.09 miles (total over all segments)

Notes and History
ME 23, a centre-state minor highway, does not exist until 1954; it was formed out of the vacated alignment of ME 24 from Sidney to Guilford. As such, its southern terminus has apparently always been ME 8 (and friends) at Pond and Belgrade Rds near Sidney and its northern end at ME 6/ME 15/ME 16 near Guilford and Sangerville, its oblique routing via Oakland, Canaan, Hartland, Ripley and Dexter similarly unmolested. Interestingly, it is now longer than the route it was formed out of (ME 24).
