The eastern terminus is a wye-junction, with Route 112 officially designated on the northern leg. The southern leg splits off from the main route about 0.1 miles (0.16 km) from the end, connecting to southbound US 7. Lime Rock Road continues north along US 7 towards Falls Village. [1] [2] Route 112 is a two-lane rural collector road and carries average daily traffic volumes of up to 2,900 in the Lime Rock Park area.
Route 112 was established as part of the 1932 state highway renumbering over an old mining road (Lime Rock Road) and remains unchanged since then. The old road used to connect the mines at Lime Rock, when they were still active, with Falls Village, Salisbury center, and Sharon center. [3]
