As far as 95 north of Bang-town goes, 75 has been in place for a few months now, north of... Old Town, I believe. An appropriate place to make the cutoff, IMO.

...While this current proposal is for 295, I consider it on-topic for this thread, as it was formerly I-95 until 2004. 8-) (Or, the section(s) likely to be affected, at least.)

Hey, Speaking of OOB, there's been some kind municipal dust-up there, and it looks like all the town councilors are going up for recall. o_O Not sure exactly what over; I've not been following it closely at all.

I also found this clip about the issue. Yes, it's also from WCSH-TV of Portland.

What are the toll rates for this vehicle class? :spin:

A few years ago, a similiar plane made a similiar landing on the NJ Turnpike, north of Exit 4 (3 lanes wide per direction there).   The Turnpike spokesperson at the time, Joe Orlando, was known for his jokes when interviewed, mentioned that the pilot pulled the plane to the shoulder of the roadway better than many motorists pull their cars over!  Sure enough, traffic was able to get by on the shoulder while the plane sat on the roadway.  The plane was eventually loaded onto a flatbed and towed a short distance to a maintenance shed.  Unlike this case though, the NJ Turnpike plane was going to have its wings disassembled and then transported elsewhere.

The reconfigured Exit 113 opened today. I went to check it out a couple hours ago. Very snazzy; multilane roundabouts. The trumpet ramps on the west side of I-95 were realigned to connect to two corners of the roundabout there, and Old Belgrade Road was doglegged to connect to the other two corners.

EXTEND!
ME3 is now well signed via Old Belgrade Rd to, from and at ME27, complete with a new END sign.
