Lewiston, ME

united states

Lewiston anchors south-central Maine alongside Auburn across the Androscoggin River. I-95 runs 30 miles southeast, accessed via Route 196 through Lisbon for the fastest connection to Portland. Routes 4, 202, and 11 fan out from downtown, with Route 4 south leading to Auburn and Route 202 providing the main east-west corridor. The massive Bates Mill complex downtown has been converted from textile manufacturing into a mixed-use development with dining and shopping.
