When do they use the shoulder lane on the Piscataqua River Bridge?  I got caught in some stop and go traffic approaching it, only to find that the lane was closed.  There probably would have been a lot less delay had it been open.  If it's not used for peak weekend/holiday traffic, then what is it used for?

The status of the lanes can also be viewed on the New England 511 website as well, with "Message Signs" enabled.

Example of what the New England 511 displays when breakdown lane travel is active, as shown because of a crash on I-95 Northbound in Portsmouth Exit 7 blocking the left two lanes. Only the worded message part is shown here, not the lane use part of the sign.

The status of the travel time signs in Maine can also be viewed here as well for some reason, they just either show the number or the travel time status depending on the type of the sign.
