PART 7
C is for cookie. That good enough for me. US 1 in Brunswick, Maine, uses letters for its exits.
From US 1, this is looking down the New Meadows River to the old US 1 bridge.
Time for a Bath, you little woocap! US 1 forms this unusual divided highway through Bath.
US 1 narrows but actually has an exit.
US 1 crosses the Kennebec River.
Just before the bridge, we look out over Bath.
The bridge is known as the Sagadahoc Bridge and opened in 2000. It replaces the bridge at right, the Carlton Bridge, which opened in 1927. The Carlton Bridge had been closed to auto traffic but in 2023 was reportedly still in use for rail on the lower deck.
US 1 makes a sweeping left at the end of the bridge.
A lobster sculpture looms on US 1 in Woolwich.
Some construction poopiness in Woolwich.
US 1/ME 27 in Wiscasset. Up ahead, a bridge crosses the Sheepscot River.
The bridge over the Sheepscot.
Descending the Sheepscot span.
I bet that business just loves having its sign broken in half.
US 1 in Newcastle with the Damariscotta River in the background.
As US 1 crosses the St. George River in Thomaston, we look down at a rail bridge.
US 1 uses Main Street in Thomaston.
US 1 continues in Thomaston.
US 1 in Rockland as it uses Main Street.
Curator! For a brief time when I was about 10, I wasn't allowed to mention Sesame Street, so I evaded this taboo by using the word curator.
Rockland is a city of 7,000 that dazzles like a million.
From US 1 at Glen Cove, this is looking out over West Penobscot Bay. We're getting close to Homer Simpson's "land the law forgot"!
US 1 enters Camden on Elm Street.
