Travel was lighter than expected on Memorial Day in Maine
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Memorial Day weekend journey on the Maine Turnpike was decrease than anticipated, falling in need of the earlier document.
Memorial Day weekend toll transactions had been about 7% decrease than in 2019, a record-setting 12 months for the turnpike with over 1 million toll transactions, the Portland Press Herald reported.
The Maine Turnpike Authority had projected greater than 1.4 million transactions over the latest vacation weekend.
File-high gasoline costs and unsettled climate in some areas doubtless performed a job in lighter-than-expected journey, stated Doug Davidson, chief monetary officer of the Maine Turnpike Authority.
Memorial Day is the normal begin of Maine’s summer season tourism season, however visitors is heavier on weekends in August and on Labor Day.
