State Route 98 (SR 98) is a short state highway in southwestern Maine. It is a 2.8adj=midNaNadj=mid connection between the city of Saco and Old Orchard Beach between U.S. Route 1 (US 1) and SR 5/SR 9. SR 98 is signed as an east–west highway although its orientation is more northwest-to-southeast.
SR 98 begins in Saco at an intersection with US 1. It proceeds southeast into Old Orchard Beach, passing by the Dunegrass Golf Club before meeting its eastern terminus at SR 5 just short of SR 5's southern terminus at SR 9 on the coastline. The Old Orchard Beach Town Hall and Inn are located near the intersection of SR 5 and SR 98. SR 98 does not intersect any numbered routes between its endpoints.
The route between Saco and Old Orchard Beach was originally designated as SR 6 in 1937.[2] The SR 6 designation was removed in 1946, when SR 6 was moved to its current routing. Former SR 6 was then designated as SR 98, and the routing has not changed since.
