Falmouth ? The Exit 11 ramp on I-295 southbound will remain closed for the next 5 to 6 hours as crews work to off-load the tractor trailer of its load of broccoli.

There is currently a significant back up on the interstate in both directions in this area.

Motorists are urged to seek an alternate route.

State Police say the ramp from Route 1 in Falmouth and from I-295 is completely shut down to the Falmouth Spur of the Maine Turnpike because of a tractor trailer rollover.

Motorists seeking to use the turnpike should use the Portland exit by the Jetport to avoid the crash site. Motorists along I-295 southbound will be experiencing slowdowns in Falmouth for the afternoon.

State Police say the ramp from Route 1 in Falmouth to the Falmouth Spur of the Maine Turnpike southbound is currently shut down because of a tractor trailer rollover. The I-295 ramp (Exit 11) to the spur remains open but backups will remain for most of the afternoon. Motorists seeking to use the turnpike should use the Portland exit by the Jetport to avoid the crash site.

There has been a subsequent crash southbound in the area forcing a lane closure near Exit 11. One lane of travel on I-295 southbound near Exit 11 will be in place until further notice.
