Route description
editSR 116 begins at SR 16 at Old Town. It heads east towards the Penobscot River, running parallel with it to the junction with State Routes 6 and 155 in Howland. SR 116 then meets U.S. Route 2 in Enfield. SR 116 and SR 6 follows U.S. Route 2 to Lincoln, Maine while SR 155 continues east from Enfield.
