Bangor, ME – Drivers in Bangor and across Penobscot County are facing major disruptions today after a multi-vehicle crash shut down all westbound lanes of Interstate 395.
According to Maine State Police, the crash occurred on I-395 in Bangor, forcing officials to close westbound traffic entirely. Vehicles are currently being diverted off the highway at Exit 4 as crews respond to the scene. Authorities have not yet released details on injuries or the number of vehicles involved, but the closure is causing significant delays in and around the Bangor area.
The shutdown is impacting commuters traveling through Bangor, a key hub in central Maine, especially those heading westbound toward Interstate 95 and surrounding routes. Drivers are being advised to seek alternate routes and expect extended travel times while emergency crews work to clear the crash and reopen the roadway.
Traffic backups are building quickly during peak travel hours, and conditions may worsen depending on how long the closure remains in place. Officials are urging motorists to avoid the area altogether if possible to reduce congestion and allow first responders to work safely.
No estimated time has been provided for when westbound lanes will reopen. Updates are expected as the situation develops.
