Route description
SR 234 begins at the Sandy River just east of downtown Strong as an offshoot of SR 149, which connects with SR 4 and SR 145 in the town center before running south on the east bank of the river. SR 234 heads due east, passing to the south of Porter Lake and crossing into New Vineyard, where it intersects with SR 27. SR 234 turns north on SR 27 and the two routes run concurrently for 2 miles (3.2 km) before SR 234 turns east again towards Anson in Somerset County. In Anson, SR 234 briefly runs along the southern bank of the Carrabassett River before terminating at US 201A and SR 8, just feet from the intersection with SR 16 and the confluence of the Carrabassett and Kennebec rivers.
