HISTORY

Route 114 was a major north-south artery for its entire length until the arrival of the Interstate Highway System . It is still a major commercial corridor on Aquidneck Island and in northern Rhode Island (mainly Central Falls , Cumberland and Woonsocket ).

Until the 1960s , Route 114 ended at the intersection of Pine Swamp Road and Diamond Hill Road in Cumberland . Present-day Route 114 from that point west to Route 122 in Woonsocket, Rhode Island was given the Route 142 and later the Route 11 designation. When Route 11 became Route 121 in the 1960s , Route 121 's terminus was cut back to the same intersection where Route 114 originally ended, and the route west to Woonsocket became Route 114.

In 2000, part of Route 114 northbound south of downtown Pawtucket was re-routed. The old alignment left Prospect Street at Pond Street, went east along Pond Street to Summit Street, north on Summit Street (this turn onto Summit is still signed as of July 2005 ) and re-joined Route 114 southbound at the corner of Summit Street and Division Street.
