Monitor Labor Day Weekend Traffic With Live Turnpike Traffic Cams

It's a super busy weekend on the Maine Turnpike. The MTA is expecting over 1 million transactions this Labor Day Weekend. According to the MTA:

"Saturday’s northbound traffic is expected to be slightly lower in volume than Friday’s, with the bulk of those vehicles threading the York Toll Plaza between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

 
Monday’s traffic, with approximately 247,000 vehicles cruising the Turnpike, will be heaviest between 12:00 noon and 7:00 PM.  On a typical Labor Day, more than 3,760 vehicles travel through the York Toll Plaza every hour from 9:00 in the morning until 6:00 PM.
 

 
Starting out early in the morning or later in the evening are the best strategies for motorists hoping to avoid the heaviest traffic over the Labor Day weekend."

A great way to stay up to date on traffic on the Turnpike this weekend is to check in on the awesome live webcams that the Maine Turnpike Authority has up and down the Turnpike. Be safe out there!
