The work zone is located approximately one-half mile northerly of the Garland/Exeter town line and is approximately 600 ft. in length.

Bridge in Milo Temporary Closed

Milo ? Crews will be replacing the existing deteriorated concrete bridge deck on the Pleasant River Bridge in Milo, which spans the Pleasant River.

The work zone is 100 ft. on the approach to the bridge, extending 100 ft. upon exiting the bridge, making the entire work area 500 ft. in length.

The detour route for travelers heading south will be from Route 127 in Dresden to Indian Road to Route 128, then to Route 127 in Woolwich.

Bangor Exit 186 to Close for Overnight Paving

Bangor ? Tuesday evening, September 11th paving operations will begin at Exit 186, Stillwater Avenue, northbound on I-95. This work will be done just south of the Union Street off-ramp northbound, ending just prior to the Hogan Road on-ramp. Due to the proximity of the bridge, crews will need to close the off-ramp at Exit 186 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Motorists are asked to use Exit 187, the Hogan Road, during this time.

State Police, variable message boards and signage will all alert and help guide motorists through the single lane of traffic within the paving area.

Railroad Crossing to be Repaired in Greene
