Route description

[edit]
Maine State Route 9 east ofBangor.
Looking east toLead Mountain along State Route 9

State Route 9 is a meandering highway that works its way fromNew Hampshire toCanada. It frequently runsconcurrently with other highways listed below and also frequently changes direction.

State Route 9 runs through most of Maine's major cities includingBiddeford,Saco,South Portland,Portland,Augusta, andBangor.

Over the years, a number of improvements have been made by the Route 9 Committee, a partnership of local government officials and business interests in the Baileyville-Calais area.

The Airline

[edit]

The leg from Bangor toCalais is often referred to as "The Airline," commonly thought to be because of its shorter route than the olderU.S. 1. (Before the coming ofair travel, the termairline often referred to such a shortcut.) Although anecdotes about unexploded ordnance deriving from bombers flying from the formerDow Air Force Base (nowBangor International Airport) using a number of towers and landmarks along "The Airline", in fact the term goes back to the early 1850s as a contrast to theshoreline route.[2] The last section of "The Airline" was paved in 1973 in Crawford and many old sections of the road are visible to the side of the present roadway. The "Whale's Back", a two-mile stretch built atop anesker inHancock County was one of the most notable features of the highway until it was rebuilt.[3]

Bypass of Brewer

[edit]

Plans to extendI-395 connecting it to SR 9 began as early as 2001.[4] In February 2008,MaineDOT suggested five possible routes to extend I-395 to SR 9, with two in particular designated as "State's Choice" and "Holden's Choice".[5] The state approved the "Holden's Choice" route, designated 2B-2. All three affected communities issued resolutions in 2014 opposing this route.[6]

The state went forward with the project not as an I-395 extension but as a 5.5-mile (9 km)super two rerouting of SR 9. The design was finalized in 2021, with construction commencing in 2022.

MaineDOT completed the project with a ribbon cutting ceremony on June 27, 2025.[7] When it opened, the existing segment of Route 9 that ran through the downtown areas ofHampden,Brewer and Bangor became Route 9 Business.[8]
