Maine Highways Change!

If you were traveling in Maine recently, you might have noticed the new exit numbers along with the re-arranged highway routes. ugh!! What a hassle!

Route 95 along the coast is now called Rte 295 and the Maine Turnpike that used to be named Rte 495 is now called Rte 95.

State exit numbers have all changed as well. The exits coincide with the mile markers. So, if you are at mile marker 20, the exit is #20. The next exit will not be #21, but will match to the mile marker by the exit. It is the same process for exit numbering as down in the southern states on Rte 95. It is actually a nice way to calculate how many miles you will be driving.

The Maine rest stop have maps with the new rtes and exits. We opted to purchase a new 2004 Maine Atlas and Gazetteer from Delorme. We love their map books! It was $20 for the newest version.

  1. Ok. Going to Bar Harbor next year will be more difficult.

    I actually like the mile marker exit number change. That is how they do it in the South and hope they would change it up here. It will take some getting use to.

    Happy Camping!
