Maine Equipment Shipping Company

Heavy Equipment Transport regularly ships semi trucks throughout Maine, utilizing the interstate highway and state road system to navigate between significant destinations quickly. Some of the most common routes include:

I-95

I-295

As a six-lane highway, the I-95 enters Maine from New Hampshire across the Piscataqua River Bridge, connecting Portsmouth, NH, with Kittery. The route follows a northeasterly direction through Maine, bypassing the Saco/Biddeford area. Its spur route, the I-195, connects the highway to Old Orchard Beach. When it reaches Scarborough, the road meets the southern end of the I-295 and turns north to serve the Portland International Jetport.

Continuing along the turnpike, I-95 travels through Gray, Auburn, and Lewiston. From Lewiston, it turns east to Gardiner and then parallels the Kennebec River past both Augusta and Waterville. From Fairfield, the road follows the Sebasticook River northwards past Pittsfield and Newport before turning east to Bangor. From the north of Bangor city center, the highway resumes its northerly run to Howland, Lincoln, and Houlton.

Travelers heading between Scarborough and West Gardiner often use the auxiliary I-295 route. It's approx. 84 km long and serves as a Lewiston-Auburn bypass in the Greater Portland area. It offers a more direct way between Portland and the state's capital than its parent I-95. It's also a toll-free alternative, which branches off from the Maine Turnpike at exit 44. From downtown Portland, the route typically follows the Kennebec River and coastal Mississippi until it reaches West Gardiner and merges with the I-95 at exit 103.
