Ramp, lane and shoulder closures are listed under the toggle, not as full closures. Closures with a future start date are marked scheduled. Positions are the DOT's; mile markers are approximate.

Report

Labor Day 2026 in Maine

What the New England 511 feed carried over the holiday weekend.

Driving across Maine

I-95 is the spine, Kittery, Portland, Augusta, Bangor, then the long run north to Houlton, about 302 miles. I-295 splits off at Portland and hugs the coast through Brunswick before rejoining I-95. US-1 follows the coast the whole way, Ogunquit, Camden, Bar Harbor traffic, and eventually Fort Kent. US-2 crosses the state east to west through Bangor and the western mountains toward New Hampshire.

What the season does to Maine's highways

Winter is the story north of Portland. Snow and ice on I-95 through the woods north of Bangor, long gaps between exits, and moose at dawn and dusk. On the coast, nor'easters flood US-1 in the low spots. MaineDOT posts closures and conditions on 511 Maine by route and mile.

Before a Maine road trip

  1. Check the map above for anything red on your route, then open New England 511 for the DOT's own detour and restriction text.
  2. Look at the road. The Maine cameras show the pavement itself, and most carry the mile marker.
  3. For the long haul, the I-95 corridor page carries alerts for every state the route crosses, not only Maine.
  4. Know how to say where you are. Dispatch, 911 and tow companies ask for the route, the direction and the mile marker. How to report your location on the highway.
  5. Carry the app. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states, and the same New England 511 alerts show on your route as you drive.

What October looked like

In October 2026, MileCheck's archive of the New England 511 feed held 37 unique reports, including 10 work-zone reports. The routes with the most reports were US-201, I-95 and US-1. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the October Highway Report.

Questions, answered

Is the highway closed in Maine right now?

The map above shows full closures from the New England 511 feed as red markers, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. The page checks MileCheck's feed every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open New England 511.

Where do I check Maine road conditions?

New England 511 is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same New England 511 feed and adds the Maine cameras, the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.
