Maine Turnpike may seek state aid for expansion
Maine Turnpike Authority executive director Frank A. Howe says widening the York to Scarborough toll road remains needed but a state funding path is unclear after the Maine Supreme Court ruling blocking expansion with toll revenue. The six to eight lane plan faced a $70 million cost reassessment and debt concerns. Howe notes a Labor Day backlog and plans to study the ruling with attorneys before the Aug. 7 meeting.
