State Route 229 (SR 229) is a short state highway in northeastern Maine. The 1.9-mile-long (3.1 km) state highway begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 1A (US 1A) in the town of Limestone and runs eastward to the Canadian border, where it crosses into New Brunswick and becomes New Brunswick Route 375.

Route description

SR 229 begins at an intersection with US 1A (Main Street) in downtown Limestone. The route progresses eastward as a side street known as Bridge Street for one block to the intersection with Church Street, where the name switches over to Grand Falls Road. At this intersection, the road turns from east to the northeast. SR 229 crosses over a railroad track and leaves downtown Limestone, passing to the south of Limestone Pond. The route passes several residences and periods of large farms and grasslands surrounding the two-lane highway. Just before the intersection with Morris Road, SR 229 makes a short turn further northeast and intersects with Blake Road and Nike Road. Just after the intersection with Nike Road, SR 229 passes one farm and the 24-hour US Customs station at the Maine/New Brunswick state/provincial line.[2] At the Canadian border, SR 229 ends and continues eastward in New Brunswick as Route 375.[1]
