EspañolMAINE TURNPIKE
The 'Maine Turnpike' runs from Kittery to Augusta and is a toll road for all of its length except for a short section in Kittery and York. As of January 2004, it is signed entirely as Interstate 95. Flat-fee tolls are paid upon entering the turnpike and there are also barrier tolls in York, New Gloucester, and Gardiner. As of February 1 2005, the former Transpass electronic toll collection system has been discontinued and the turnpike joined the E-ZPass network.
