Blizzard Will Disrupt Travel in Maine Into Wednesday

PORTLAND, Maine - Traveling by land, air and sea will remain difficult in Maine because of the blizzard.

Bangor International Airport officials say it's unclear when scheduled flights will be able to depart on Wednesday. A spokesman says the airport anticipates "some flights resuming late morning,'' but that is subject to change.

Portland International Jetport says ticket counters will reopen on Wednesday, but operations will likely still be impacted by the snow. Maine State Ferry Service also remains shut down and might not reopen on Wednesday.

A spokesman for the state Department of Transportation says residents have helped with road clearing by heeding advice to stay off roads, but much snow plowing remains. A spokeswoman for Amtrak says it's still unclear whether Downeaster train service between Brunswick and Boston will resume on Wednesday.
