Update on US Route 2

Gorham, NH - New Hampshire DOT crews are working to reopen Route 2 from Gorham, New Hampshire to the Maine State Line by this evening with one-way alternating traffic in one or two locations.

Fore more information, contact Bill Boynton at NHDOT - 603-271-6495.

Update to Augusta Detour

Update ? Due the recent storm damage and the need for crews elsewhere, this project has been postponed until Wednesday, November 1st. If needed, further updates will follow.

Augusta ? Beginning on Monday, October 30th, all southbound Interstate 95 traffic at Exit 109 destined for Western Avenue in Augusta will be directed off Exit 109B onto Western Avenue westbound. Motorists traveling east on Western Avenue will need to proceed westerly to access one of the reverse direction loops at Edison Drive or Old Winthrop Road.

Traffic Cones and Barriers Need to Stay in Place

Augusta - As power crews continue to bring residents and businesses back online, MaineDOT continues to clear debris from state roads and railroads. Where these two efforts intersect is when there are trees and brush entangled in power lines. MaineDOT crews cannot clear the brush or power lines from a roadway until CMP has determined the line and area are safe. Even if a line is disconnected from a pole it may be fed from residential generators or other sources.

FIRST PHASE OF BAR HARBOR ROUTE 3 RECONSTRUCTION NEARLY COMPLETE

Bar Harbor - MaineDOT said today that its contractors expect to wrap up Phase One of the reconstruction of Route 3 in Bar Harbor by Thanksgiving Day.

The project kicked off in early spring and continued throughout the busy summer season. Work began 0.57 miles west of Sand Point Road and has proceeded southward to Crooked Road. During this time, northbound traffic was detoured to Crooked Road except for periods when 2-way traffic could be maintained on Route 3. Access to homes and businesses along Route 3 has been maintained throughout the reconstruction.

Main Street in Yarmouth to be Closed

Yarmouth - Main Street in Yarmouth will close at 10:00 p.m. on Friday, November 17th and will reopen on Monday, November 20th at 4:00 a.m. while crews work around the clock to demolish parts of the Route 1 bridge that spans Main Street.

There will be no motor vehicle or pedestrian access to Main Street directly under the bridge during the weekend.

Sarah Mildred Long Bridge Opening Celebration Postponed

Kittery - As the Sarah Mildred Long Bridge in Kittery continues to be constructed, the opening ceremony, scheduled for Friday, December 1st has been postponed.

Due to weather constraints, the opening celebration will be held in the spring of 2018. This will allow time for planning and coordination with the communities of Kittery and Portsmouth, N.H.

Planning for the event was in the early stages. This decision was made now as invitations and other material have not been produced.

The Sarah Mildred Long Bridge is still scheduled to be opened to traffic by year's end.
