Last but not least…information regarding the shuttle service between Kittery and Portsmouth…due to the bridge closure.

A new shuttle bus service associated with this bridge replacement project will begin operations on January 9 at 5:00 am.  The bus will accommodate 12 passengers and seven bicycles and is handicapped accessible.  The shuttle service will run daily from 5:00 am until 1:00 am seven days a week, leaving from
Kittery on the hour and Portsmouth on the half-hour. The Kittery pickup location will be just north of Warren’s Restaurant  on Water Street. The shuttle will be in Kittery at the top of every hour until 12:00 midnight (last scheduled pickup).  Beginning in Portsmouth at 5:30 am, the pickup location will be at the corner of Daniel Street
and Bow Street.  The Portsmouth shuttle will leave at the bottom of the hour (i.e. 5:30, 6:30, etc.) until the final pickup is made at 12:30 am and dropping off in Kittery by 1:00 am.  The shuttle will then resume four hours later  in Kittery.

Happy Running
