Your last chance to view an Interstate 495 shield in Maine before the highway was silenced forever on the 5.2-mile Falmouth Spur; this sign was removed by 2007. Interstates 95, 295, and 495 changed paths in 2004 during a grand realignment scheme. That plan moved Interstate 95 wholly onto the Maine Turnpike, extended Interstate 295 north from its end at the Falmouth Spur to Gardiner, and relegated the previously signed Interstate 495 to the short Falmouth Spur (as unsigned Interstate 495) between Interstates 95 and 295. This sign was posted along northbound at the transition to the Maine Turnpike. Photo taken 06/27/05. The Maine Turnpike and EZPass welcome you to the Maine Turnpike system on Interstate 95 north.
