Bath Brunsw ick Highway May Be Built Over Old King Turnpike
Bath Brunswick residents push plan to reroute the state highway from Cook's Corner toward a new straight alignment. They argue the present King Turnpike route is a weak link and advocate utilizing an alternate path to reduce grades and improve traffic flow. The proposal faces likely local protests from Bath area business and residents but aims for broader public benefit with ongoing road improvements.
