Route description
SR 208 begins at the intersection of Yates Street and Mile Stretch Road at Biddeford Pool.

At the intersection of Mile Stretch Road and Bridge Road, SR 208 turns northward meeting SR 9 (Pool Street) near the Biddeford water tower.

The routes pass through the campus of University of New England. Speed limits range from 35–50 miles per hour (56–80 km/h) approaching downtown Biddeford.
