Brunswick, Maine – Snow is actively impacting travel on I-295 right now, with multiple crashes already reported along the Brunswick and Topsham stretch, creating immediate hazards for drivers in both directions.
According to Maine State Police, snowfall is reducing visibility and covering road surfaces along I-295, leading to a spike in accidents early this morning. Both northbound and southbound lanes are affected, with traffic slowing significantly as emergency crews respond to incidents.
The heaviest impacts are centered between Brunswick and Topsham, where untreated pavement and ongoing snowfall are creating slick conditions. Drivers traveling toward Portland or Augusta should expect delays and rapidly changing road conditions, especially on bridges and exit ramps.
Officials are urging motorists to slow down, increase following distance, and avoid unnecessary travel through the corridor until conditions improve. Crashes can quickly compound in snowy conditions, especially during peak commute hours.
Snow impacts are expected to persist through the morning drive, and additional incidents remain possible as bands move through the region. Drivers should monitor updates and be prepared for sudden slowdowns.
