TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Re-striping lanes at York Toll Plaza work zone (12/18 & 12/19)

Expect delays in both directions Wednesday & Thursday

TRAFFIC ADVISORY:  On Wednesday, December 18 and Thursday, December 19, the construction site of the York Toll Plaza replacement project will be down to one lane in both directions.  The double lane closure is necessary in order for crews to apply new lane markings through the construction zone.  Crews will be utilizing an infrared truck to heat the road before and after the striping is applied in order to help the paint bond to the roadway.

"We realize the double lane closures is likely to cause some traffic backups, but the safety of motorists traveling through this area is paramount and better striping is needed," said spokeswoman for the Maine Turnpike Authority, Erin Courtney.  

Hours are as follows:

Northbound:  Between 7 AM and 1 PM
Southbound: Between 9 AM and 2 PM

Please use caution and expect delays.
