'''Pennsylvania Route 113''' ('''PA 113''') is a {{convert|46.9|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} [[state route]] in eastern [[Pennsylvania]]. The southern terminus of the route is at [[U.S. Route 30 Business (
PA 113 was originally designated by 1927 to run from [[Pennsylvania Route 23|PA 23]] and [[Pennsylvania Route 29|PA 29]] in Phoenixville to [[U.S. Route 1 in Pennsylvania|US 1]] and [[Pennsylvania Route 101|PA 101]] in [[Penndel, Pennsylvania|Penndel]]. By 1930, PA 113 was extended from Phoenixville southwest to [[U.S. Route 30 in Pennsylvania|US 30]] in Downingtown and south from Penndel to [[U.S. Route 13 in Pennsylvania|US 13]] in [[Eddington, Pennsylvania|Eddington]]. The route was moved to its current alignment between Phoenixville and [[Rahns, Pennsylvania|Rahns]] in 1937, switching routes with PA 29. In 1946, PA 113 was realigned at [[Kulps Corner, Pennsylvania|Kulps Corner]] to head to is current northern terminus, replacing part of [[Pennsylvania Route 413|PA 413]]. The former PA 113 between Kulps Corner and Eddington became [[Pennsylvania Route 313|PA 313]], [[U.S. Route 202 in Pennsylvania|US 202]], PA 413, [[Pennsylvania Route 513|PA 513]], and Bensalem Boulevard. PA 113 was realigned to bypass [[Kimberton, Pennsylvania|Kimberton]] in the 1970s and Harleysville in the 1980s. In 2009, the new Gay Street Bridge over the [[French Creek (Schuylkill River)|French Creek]] was opened, replacing a bridge that was built in 1924.

PA 113 begins at an intersection with [[U.S. Route 30 Business (Chester County, Pennsylvania)|US 30 Bus.]] ([[Lancaster Avenue]]) in the borough of [[Downingtown, Pennsylvania|Downingtown]] in [[Chester County, Pennsylvania|Chester County]], heading north on West Uwchlan Avenue, a two-lane [[divided highway]]. The road passes through residential areas and turns into a three-lane road with a [[center left-turn lane]]. The route crosses into [[East Caln Township, Pennsylvania|East Caln Township]] and becomes a divided highway again as it reaches a partial interchange with the [[U.S. Route 30 in Pennsylvania|US 30]] freeway, with access to westbound US 30 and from eastbound US 30. PA 113 becomes undivided again and continues northeast through wooded areas of homes with a few businesses as a three-lane road with two northbound lanes and one southbound lane that ascends a hill. The road narrows back to two lanes before it enters [[Uwchlan Township, Pennsylvania|Uwchlan Township]]. PA 113 widens to four lanes as it continues through suburban areas, passing to the northwest of [[Downingtown East High School]]. The route heads to the north and gains a center left-turn lane as it runs through commercial areas in [[Lionville, Pennsylvania|Lionville]]. PA 113 curves to the northeast again and crosses [[Pennsylvania Route 100|PA 100]], where the name becomes East Uwchlan Avenue. Past this intersection, the road passes west of a [[park and ride]] lot and heads near industrial parks before it comes to a bridge over the [[Pennsylvania Turnpike]] ([[Interstate 76 (east)|Interstate 76]], I-76). The route passes near residential areas with some farmland before it crosses into [[West Pikeland Township, Pennsylvania|West Pikeland Township]].<ref name=gm>{{google maps|url=https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=W+Uwchlan+Ave&daddr=40.116245,-75.588444+to:40.1306934,-75.5223642+to:40.1528869,-75.5073854+to:40.223705,-75.4106716+to:PA-611+N%2FEaston+Rd&hl=en&sll=40.415718,-75.161076&sspn=0.070184,0.169086&geocode=FceGYgIdsPp8-w%3BFRUgZAIdpJx--yn1-qrcQIzGiTFq918OkIki9w%3BFYVYZAIdxJ5_-yldcbyW_pHGiTEtaShl_cbMWg%3BFTavZAIdR9l_-ykjq2tNxpHGiTHEHv7FNha9Nw%3BFdnDZQIdEVOB-ylvTOufopnGiTEbPpESlY7i-g%3BFQ8uaQIdbE2F-w&t=h&mra=ls&via=1,2,3,4&z=10|title=overview of Pennsylvania Route 113|accessdate=February 21, 2013}}</ref><ref name=adcchester>{{cite map|publisher=[[ADC Map]]|title=Chester County, Pennsylvania |year=2006|edition=17th|scale= 1"=2000'|isbn=0-87530-778-7}}</ref>
Here, PA 113 becomes Kimberton Road and narrows to two lanes as it comes to an intersection with [[Pennsylvania Route 401|PA 401]] at Opperman's Corner. The road continues northeast through wooded areas with some fields and residences, passing through the community of [[Chester Springs, Pennsylvania|Chester Springs]] and crossing [[Pickering Creek]]. The route heads into [[East Pikeland Township, Pennsylvania|East Pikeland Township]] and becomes Pike Springs Road as it continues through more rural areas with some development. PA 113 reaches the community of [[Kimberton, Pennsylvania|Kimberton]] and curves to the east, with the name becoming Kimberton Road again. The road passes through areas of homes and businesses and becomes the border between [[Schuylkill Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania|Schuylkill Township]] to the north and the borough of [[Phoenixville, Pennsylvania|Phoenixville]] to the south at the Township Line Road intersection. The route passes more development and fully enters Schuylkill Township before crossing into Phoenixville and coming to the [[Pennsylvania Route 23|PA 23]] junction.<ref name=gm/><ref name=adcchester/>
At this point, PA 113 turns southeast to form a [[concurrency (road)|concurrency]] with PA 23 on Nutt Road, a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane. The road passes businesses and crosses under an abandoned railroad line, at which point it continues through residential areas. PA 113 splits from PA 23 by heading northeast on two-lane Bridge Street. The road passes homes before heading into commercial areas. The route continues east into downtown Phoenixville, where it turns north to cross over the [[French Creek (Schuylkill River)|French Creek]], the [[Schuylkill River Trail]], and Smithworks Boulevard at the site of the former [[Phoenix Iron Works (Phoenixville, Pennsylvania)|Phoenix Iron Works]] site on the Gay Street Bridge. PA 113 becomes Franklin Street and heads into residential areas, turning east onto
