Closure necessary as part of ongoing Part Time Shoulder Use (PTSU) project


Travel Advisory:  Beginning on Wednesday, February 22, the Exit 1 SB on-ramp in Kittery will be closed for approximately two weeks for construction activities related to the ongoing Part Time Shoulder Use (PTSU) project being managed by New Hampshire DOT.  The work includes installation of a concrete foundation for the signage that will be used when PTSU becomes operational in the future. On Tuesday, February 21, construction crews will begin placing detour signs on local roads.  Motorists are cautioned to be alert as the approach this area as southbound lane closures on the Maine Turnpike my cause traffic delays.
