BRUNSWICK — The Maine Department of Transportation will be closing two ramps in Brunswick overnight on October 2, 2025, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. The northbound on ramp to Route 196 East to Route 1 North and the southbound on ramp from Cooks Corner to Route 1 South will each be closed for maintenance. Closures will be clearly marked with signs and cones, and drivers should use the next available exit during this period.

Drivers traveling to Route 1 northbound from Route 196 East should remain on Main Street and reenter Route 1 at the Mason Street / Cressey Rd northbound on ramp.

Drivers heading from Cooks Corner to Route 1 southbound should take Route 24 (Bath Road) to Main Street and reenter Route 1.
