Biddeford Route 111 Transportation Alternatives/South Street Connections Study
This study will evaluate a range of alternatives to improve safety and mobility along Route 111 west of the Maine Turnpike to downtown Biddeford, including a new road connection between Route 111 and South Street. (See the study area map for details.) The study will determine to what degree a new road or other transportation alternatives could reduce traffic congestion and improve safety along Route 111, including major intersections between Exit 32 and downtown Biddeford. Currently, multiple intersections in this area are failing in terms of Levels of Service (ability to move a sufficient number of vehicles through at peak travel periods). In many cases these intersections have also been identified as high crash locations. A new road would also provide a more direct route from the Turnpike – and the western end of Route 111 – into Biddeford’s downtown.
