History
As it was first designated in 1925, SR 129 extended south all the way to the tip of South Bristol at the intersection with Shipley Road. In 2004, the route was truncated to the intersection with Middle Road, which remains its southern terminus. No other major changes have been made to the route, except for the co-signing of SR 130 along its northern segment.
