Route 114A is an alternate to Rhode Island Route 114, located along the Massachusetts-Rhode Island border in East Providence, RI and Seekonk, MA, United States. The road begins and ends within East Providence in Rhode Island at Route 114. Most of the road, however, is located within Seekonk in Massachusetts.

Route description

Route 114A begins as Mink Road at an intersection with Route 114 in East Providence. It crosses into the Massachusetts town of Seekonk after 0.1 mi and continues north as Mink Street then Fall River Avenue through Seekonk center. Route 114A continues north back into Rhode Island, where it ends back at Route 114A (overlapped with U.S. Route 1A at this point) in East Providence.

History

Route 114A was not commissioned until some time in the 1960s.

Miscellanea

This is the only instance in Massachusetts of an "A" or "alternate" route carrying the numerics for a highway signed in another state, as Massachusetts Route 114 is over 50 miles away, running between Marblehead and Lawrence. Another such instance of this exists in New Hampshire, where New Hampshire Route 113B is actually a loop off Maine State Route 113.
