I-395 On-Ramp Closure In Bangor: What Drivers Need To Know

Folks hoping to hop on 395 to get to Bangor or Brewer tomorrow, will have to take a different route until the afternoon commute kicks in.

The closure is to get things ready for a 7.3 million dollar paving project that will start soon in that area.

The Maine DOT announced this week that it will be closing a portion of the roadway in Bangor Thursday early morning through the afternoon. Motorists will have to adjust their travel plans and take alternate routes to get on to I-395.

"In Bangor, MaineDOT will be closing the on ramp from northbound Route 202 to westbound I-395 on April 9 from 5AM to 4PM for a concrete deck placement. Drivers heading northbound on Route 202 towards I-395 should use Exit 3B on I-395 onto Main Street in Bangor and take the next on ramp to get onto I-395 westbound."

Message boards have been put in the area to warn drivers that they're entering a work zone.

According the the Maine Association of Police, says the contractor in charge of this project is Eurovia Atlantic Coast/Northeast Construction out of Bangor.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.
