Route 26 Bypass At Gray Now Open
Skiers can now bypass the town of Gray at exit 63 to join Route 26 North. Upon exiting I-95, a left turn will lead you along the west side of the turnpike on 26a and directly to Route 26. For gas, food and coffee stops in Gray you can still turn right and pass through the town.
Maine Interstate Redesignation
As a result of the 2004 Maine Interstate Redesignation, the Maine Turnpike is now designated as I-95 for its entire length. Maps older than 2004 designated I-95 as I-495 starting in South Portland. The numbering system for exits has also changed to use mileage rather than numerical order. The exit for Route 26 in Gray has changed from Exit 11 to Exit 63.
Driver's Guide
Below are notes and ideas to make your trip easier.
- Tolls: Plan on encountering tollbooths on 95 North in Hampton, NH ($2, northbound only) and York, ME ($1.75). Southbound there is an additional $.60 toll to enter the turnpike in Gray.
- Maine Turnpike: You'll find rest areas with gas and fast food in Kennebunk and Gray. If you can make it, gas is less expensive if you wait until you exit the turnpike at Gray.
- Speeding: Avoid a ticket and slow down for all intersections and towns on Route 26.
- Food: In addition to the turnpike rest areas, you'll find fast food and pizza as soon as you exit the turnpike in Gray, and 40 minutes north on Route 26, Norway / South Paris serves up all the fast food you could ever need. A good option on your way home is the Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth, NH just off I-95, 2 miles north on Route 16 / Spaulding Turnpike.
- Groceries: The Hannaford Supermarket in Oxford, Maine (just before Norway / South Paris on 26) carries everything you'll ever need, and is open to 10pm (9pm Sun). A mile south on 26 is a Walmart.
