Moving machinery in and out of Lewiston
Lewiston is Maine's second-largest city and, with neighboring Auburn, forms the Lewiston-Auburn area on the Maine Turnpike (I-95) about 35 miles north of Portland, with manufacturing, warehousing and distribution. Machines leave Lewiston on I-95, I-495 and US-202, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a BMV permit for the exact route.
