Exit 48 Southbound OFF Ramp to be Closed June 11 through June 16
All other Exit 48 ramps will be open
PORTLAND, Maine-Starting at 6:30PM on Sunday, June 11, the Maine Turnpike (I-95) southbound OFF ramp of Exit 48 (Westbrook) will be closed. It will reopen by 6:30PM on Friday, June 16. Drivers are asked to use Exit 47 (Rand Road) during this time.
This closure is the final in a series of ramp closures that have been necessary to reconstruct the interchange ramps to accommodate widening the road to three lanes.
When the southbound off ramp closes Sunday, all other Exit 48 ramps will remain open.
Stay tuned to MTA’s social media and on road variable message boards for any updates as all work is weather dependent.
This work is part of the Portland Area Widening project, adding a third travel lane in both directions from mile 46 to 49. This project was awarded to Shaw Bothers of Gorham, Maine and it is anticipated to be complete in this fall.
