The Role of Maine's Highways

Maine Public

 

Maine's highway system is dominated by Interstate 95, running from Kittery up to Houlton—but there are also three other interstate highways - I-195, I-295 and I-395. We'll discuss the history and role of Maine's highways, and their benefits and harms to communities. And we'll address current news and concerns, from traffic to construction to tolls.
