Maine Turnpike southern terminus extended to NH State Line
editBack in 2015, the Maine Turnpike Authority bought out the last 2.2 miles (3.5 km) of Interstate 95 in Kittery, in which it was previously owned and maintained by MaineDOT. This now means that the Maine Turnpike now runs from the New Hampshire State Line to MM 109 in Augusta.
Between the 2014 & 2016 revisions of the MEDOTPUBRDS shapefiles, the switch from State hwy to Toll hwy jurisdiction changed: 2014 = Spruce Creek bridge N of ME101; 2016 = where the Piscataqua River Bridge touches down on land. Also, about a week ago, I got this response from a Turnpike employee recently regarding this:
"Originally in the late 1950s, the turnpike was constructed starting around MM 2.2 to the north. In the 1970s, MaineDOT constructed the I-95 bridge over the river and constructed I-95 from the bridge to MM 2.2. In 2015 the Maine Turnpike purchased this section of I-95 from MaineDOT."
How should I express this on the page, since it would mean making some major changes? The areas of concern are the first paragraph of "Route Description" and parts of "History". What sources should I use to reflect this? I'm not sure how to, or if I should change the exit list and templates to reflect this as well.
