OXFORD – Concrete barricades bar access to the new road connecting Route 26 to the Number Six Road.

A final coat of pavement still needs to be laid so it will be spring before the road can be open to the public, said Marcy Boughter of Enterprise Maine.

The road was built to serve the Oxford Hills Business Park, where Norway Savings Bank is planning to build an operations and training center.

Oxford town officials met last week with Boughter and officials from the Maine Department of Transportation to talk about how the new access road will affect the flow of traffic on the Number Six Road.

Boughter said the DOT wants Enterprise Maine engineers to design a channelized island at the intersection of Route 26 and the old Number Six Road.

The curved island would prevent southbound traffic on Route 26 from turning left at the old intersection, although northbound Route 26 traffic would be allowed to enter the road at the old intersection.

Southbound traffic would instead use the new access road to cross over to the Number Six Road.

Traffic bound for Route 26 from the Number Six Road would use the new access road, and turn left or right onto Route 26, she said.

“Do Not Enter” signs would be placed on the Number Six Road where it converges in a V with the new access road.

The design for the new traffic flow will need to be approved by selectmen, and also be presented for approval by voters at town meeting next March, Boughter said.
