State Routes in Maine

Interstate 395 (I-395) is a 4.99 mile (8.03 km) long Auxiliary Interstate Highway in the Bangor, Maine area. The western terminus of the route is at a cloverleaf interchange with Interstate 95 near downtown Bangor, where I-395 continues west as U.S. Route 2 and State Route 100. The eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 1A in Brewer, but there are studies underway about extending it through Holden to connect to Route 9.^[2] In February 2008, the Maine Department of Transportation suggested 5 possible routes to extend I-395 to Route 9, with two in particular designated as "State's Choice" and "Holden's Choice".^[3] The State's Choice route would cut through the middle of Holden and connect to 9 in East Eddington: Holden's Choice would run along the Brewer/Holden border and join 9 earlier.
