HOLDEN, Maine — It's been years in the planning and now the construction for the I-395/Route 9 Connector project (https://www.maine.gov/mdot/projects/I395rt9connector/) is scheduled to begin in September.

The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) project is expected to last three to four years and will cost an estimated $104 million.
That'd put anticipated completion in the Sept 2024 - Sept 2025 timeframe.

• The project will also create a "T" intersection with the current Route 9.
• The new Connector will be designated Route 9. The section of Route 9 from this intersection to Brewer will be designated Route 9 Business.

Bumping this to note that it's looking pretty close, at least the end from I-395, and the signage for the new ME 9 and ME 9 Business routing are up.  Interesting style sign for the business route.

Looks like it's opening next week, which explains why all the signage is up.  It appears that ME 9 will follow US 202 to I-395, so ME 9 Business will be from the end of the US 202 overlap to where the new connector will end.  I've seen the signage on US 1A referencing this.

The ME 9 connector opened yesterday: https://www.bangordailynews.com/2025/06/27/bangor/bangor-government/i-395-connector-route-9-opens/

I should have the first batch of photos (uploaded to the Northeast Roads Facebook group) showing the new routes of ME 9 and ME 9 Business on my website tomorrow.  Future batches to follow in subsequent updates.

EDIT: First batch up on the I-395 and US 1A (Bangor) pages.

I've finished uploading photos to my site.  In addition to the above, I also have a couple relevant photos on the US 202 page (https://nysroads.com/photos.php?route=us202&state=ME).

Of particular interest:

Travelers on the relocated portion of ME9:

If you'd .listed all of what's now ME9BusBan in one entry, your maps/stats will now show the bypass instead, and you may want to change your .list entry.

If one or both of your waypoints were inside the relocated section, either:

Thanks for this heads up.  I think my travels are still correct.  I had the "old" route marked as US1AltBan anyway so it is still marked even though I don't have an entry for ME9AltBan.  And my US202 entry there is now obsolete because that part's gone.  And my old ME9 entry is broken but not needed anyway since I haven't been on any of the "new" ME9.  I think I just delete the two offending entries to clean up my log and I'm good...

I actually preemptively split my travel entry for ME 9 to prepare, though I still had a broken line because it didn't recognize the old section as actually being ME9Bus.

Updated my file to reflect driving the new section of ME9 plus all of ME9BusBan on July 12. After the latest site update, everything in the area is correct

Dropping this here for future reference...
Code: [Select]
Route* ME9 = Route::pri_list_hash.at("ME ME9");
unsigned int i1 = ME9->pri_label_hash.at("US202_HAM");
unsigned int i2 = ME9->pri_label_hash.at("ME46");
cout << i1 << ' ' << i2 << endl;
TMBitset<TravelerList*, uint32_t> travelers(TravelerList::allusers.data, TravelerList::allusers.size);
for (unsigned int i=i1; i<i2; ++i)
travelers.fast_union(ME9->segments[i].clinched_by);
cout << "Travelers on ME ME9 US202_Ham ME46:";
for (TravelerList* t : travelers)
cout << ' ' << t->traveler_name << flush;
cout << endl;
return 0;
...because relocation.sh is unreadable & unmaintainable and has too many problems.
