part
of Maine Highway Termini
Nationally, the southern terminus
of US 1 is in Key West, Florida. In Maine, it is at the New Hampshire border,
on the Kittery Bridge over the Piscataqua River in Kittery.
The northern terminus of US 1, both in Maine and nationally,
is at the New Brunswick border in Fort Kent.
There's
no official "END US 1" signage. This is the last direction sign you see before
you cross the international bridge into Clair, New Brunswick. Right next to
it is the marker put up by the Fort Kent Chamber of Commerce commemorating
the highway's end. (J.P. Kirby, 5/18/03)
The other side of the historical marker. (J.P. Kirby,

Here's what you see coming off the bridge and after you report to Customs,
including the very first US 1 sign going southbound. (J.P. Kirby, 5/18/03)
The bridge itself. (J.P. Kirby, 5/18/03)
SR 161
follows the river at this point, and runs concurrently with 1 through most
of Fort Kent. This is what you see going eastbound on 161 approaching the
bridge. (J.P. Kirby, 5/18/03)
