Route description
SR 130 begins at the intersection of Bristol Road (which carries the initial stretch of SR 130) and Pemaquid Loop Road, which allows one traveling southbound on SR 130 to loop around and head back northbound on the highway without having to turn around; however this loop is not actually designated as part of the route. From this intersection, SR 130 heads north through Bristol, meeting the southern terminus of SR 32 along the way. In the northwestern tip of town, SR 130 intersects SR 129, another "dead-end" route which runs to Christmas Cove at the tip of South Bristol. SR 129 and SR 130 are cosigned into Damariscotta where the highway intersects with US 1 Business. Both routes terminate at this intersection.
History
As it was first designated in 1925, the northern terminus of SR 130 was at its intersection with SR 129 in Bristol. In 1975, the route was cosigned with SR 129 to Damariscotta (extending the designation northward three miles) where both routes end today. No major changes have been made in its alignment.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Lincoln County.
