In the 111 years that the Turnpike has been around there have been a lot of changes. One of those changes closed a pedestrian tunnel under they highway.

A lesser-known highway law has left most drivers on the Maine Turnpike regularly breaking the law. Here are the details.

A Lewiston man was killed early Friday morning when the SUV he was driving went off the Maine Turnpike in Falmouth and crashed into a concrete bridge abutment.

Three people were injured early Wednesday when the car they were in struck a moose and a tractor trailer on the Maine Turnpike in Scarborough.

State Police say a Maine man was killed on the Interstate in Litchfield Thursday evening after crashing into an RV, being thrown from his pickup truck and struck by two other vehicles.

Maine State Police say a large box truck full of packages crashed in the northbound lanes of the Maine Turnpike in Portland early Saturday morning, sending the driver to the hospital.

Police are investigating the crash along with the Maine State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit.

he Maine Turnpike Authority posted a great throwback post from 2000 where they told us some of the incredible and hilarious questions people ask the wonderful toll operators working the tolls on the turnpike. There are some real doozies.

State Police responded to calls saying a red Chevy pickup was driving south in the northbound lanes.

Well, here we are. Memorial Day Weekend in Maine. The unofficial kickoff to summer and the millions of tourists who spend literally BILLIONS of dollars in our lovely state. But not this year. And with each long weekend in Maine, one of the big issues is having to deal with tons of traffic on the Maine Turnpike. Again, not this year.
