Augusta Area Turnpike Travelers Should Prepare for Possible Delays
PORTLAND, Maine – The Maine Turnpike Authority is alerting travelers on the northern section of the
Turnpike, between Exit 103 in Gardiner to Exit 109 in Augusta, to multiple construction projects taking place this week along the mainline. Nighttime paving will occur northbound between Exit 103 and Exit 109 during the week of June 23rd. Limited daytime lane closures will occur for drainage repairs and crack sealing. These closures should not impact traffic as much as milling or paving as it does not require pushing traffic onto the shoulder of the road. However, depending on traffic volume Monday morning, travelers could experience some delays.
Additional daytime lane closures will be in effect for construction work at the Litchfield Road Bridge located
