Route description
editSR 107 begins in East Baldwin at SR 11 and SR 113. It is overlapped with SR 11 for the southernmost 1.80 miles (2.90 km) of its length, following Bridgton Road due north between Woods Millpond and Sand Pond to an intersection with Sebago Road. SR 11 splits to the northeast onto Sebago Road while SR 107 continues north, continuing to follow Bridgton Road to Long Hill Road, where it enters Sebago. SR 107 turns northwest away from the nearby Sebago Lake, passing between Peabody Pond and Hancock Pond and traversing hilly terrain through the central part of town. The route then turns north again, entering the town of Bridgton. SR 107 runs through South Bridgton along South Bridgton Road before crossing Sandy Creek and ending at SR 117, less than 1 mile (1.6 km) west of U.S. Route 302.
History
editThe SR 107 designation was originally applied in 1925 to a 75.6-mile (121.7 km) route running between SR 100 in downtown Auburn and Haines Landing in Rangeley. Most of this route was absorbed by SR 4 when it was designated in 1931, and all of it exists as the northernmost segment of SR 4 today.
Modern SR 107 was designated in 1936 on a new route between SR 11 north of Baldwin and SR 117 in Bridgton, with an original length of 14.53 miles (23.38 km). In 1953, SR 107 was extended south along SR 11 to terrminate at SR 113 in Baldwin. The route has not changed since.[2]
