Maine Street
Maine Street

Maine Street is the main street passing through Brunswick, Maine, United States. Laid out in 1717, it runs for around 2 miles (3.2 km), from its convergence with Main Street in Topsham in the north to a convergence with Mere Point Road and an intersection with Pleasant Hill Road in the south. The street is part of Brunswick Commercial Historic District. In 2026, Travel + Leisure magazine named Maine Street fourth in its list of America's most charming Main Streets. The Pejepscot Falls Bridge separates Brunswick and Topsham, on the northern side of the Androscoggin River's Brunswick Falls. At its northern end, Maine Street forms the starting point of U.S. Route 201 (US 201). Topsham's Main Street picks up the designation at the bridge's midpoint. At its southern extremity, Maine Street picks up the Maine State Route 24 (SR 24) designation, which it carries north to its intersection with Bath Road, beside Bowdoin College. The need for the route to bypass downtown Brunswick arose because of the low capacity of the Frank J. Wood Bridge (the predecessor to the Pejepscot Falls Bridge). Maine Street was named Twelve Rod Road prior to Maine's statehood in 1820. A rod is an imperial unit equal to 16.5 feet (5.0 m) making the width of Maine Street equal to 198 feet (60 m), one of the state's broadest main streets. Maine Street was formerly the route of the old Indian trail which led between the falls of the Androscoggin and Maquoit Bay. On June 3, 1717, by order of the Pejepscot Proprietors, construction started on the road spanning from Fort George to Maquoit Bay. From Bowdoin College south to Maquoit Bay, a mile distant, the street would be split and called Mere Point Road. U.S. Route 1 passes beneath Maine Street just south of the Pejepscot Falls Bridge, while major intersections along its route (from north to south) are Pleasant Street, Bath Road (SR 24) and Pleasant Hill Road.
