Erin Courtney from Maine Turnpike Authority speaks to us about New Open Road Toll Plaza Opening on September 15th
At 12:01 AM on Wednesday, Maine Turnpike Authority will throw the switch to activate the new, high-tech toll plaza at Mile 8.8 in York. That action will be in sync with deactivating the former York toll plaza a mile and a half south where construction crews will begin dismantling the historic 52-year-old southern gateway to Maine.
The speed limit between the old and new toll plazas is also reduced to 55 mph, and wide-loads are prohibited until after September 23.
