A tractor-trailer accident shut down one northbound lane of Interstate 95 in Augusta on Tuesday and the wreck wasn’t expected to be removed until Wednesday morning. Motorists should continue to expect delays until then, police said.
The accident happened about 12:30 p.m. between exits 109 and 112 in Augusta near Bond Brook Bridge, which was the site of another tractor-trailer accident last week, according to a news release from Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
Although workers had hoped to open the lane by the Tuesday evening commute, McCausland said one lane would remain closed until Wednesday morning.
“It’s got a long way to go,” McCausland said.
The truck that crashed was a Trioiano Waste Services truck, according to McCausland.
Motorists are advised to take the Western Avenue exit in Augusta and use Leighton Road to avoid the highway.
