In Island Falls Maine there is a ten mile section of I95 Northbound that is closed. All northbound traffic must exit and use Route 2 as well as some old country roads.
These are narrow two lane roads with no shoulders. The speed limit is posted at 25 MHP for much of it as it twists and turns through farm country. Steep grades with 90 degree turns at the bottom of some of the hills.
There is one place where it feeels like you are driving through someones yard as the road seperates the farmhouse from the barn and both are within 30 feet of the road!
I have had to use the detour 4 times this summer and it is slow and dangerous if not treated with respect and caution. Safe if you adjust your driving to match the road but most drivers seem to want to race through and get back to the highway.
We have a running gag when we use the detour that we always end up leading a parade. By time we get back to the interstate there are cars backed up behind us but, hey, there is no place to safely pull over and we are doing the speed limit.
The detour goes through an Amish community and big flashing signs warn that you have to share the road with horses and buggies. We have gotten behind them a couple times and then things really slow down!
I only hope the folks that were in the accident make full recoveries.
