Today's citylink Status
Friday, July 3, 2009- Construction season is underway. You can expect delays on the College Street bus due to construction on Russell Street.
College Street Route Adjustment
Due to road construction on Russell Street, the College Street bus route has been adjusted. Out-bound on College Street the bus will turn left on to Frye Street, right onto Main Street and left onto the ramp to Veteran’s Bridge to Auburn. In-bound, the bus will exit the Veteran’s Bridge, Lewiston, turn right onto Main Street, left onto Frye Street and right onto College Street. Road construction is scheduled through June 2010. Changes to this adjustment will be posted on the College Street bus and the purplebus website.
Service to Social Security Office - On Request
The Auburn Malls bus and Central Maine Community College bus will provide service to the Social Security office located on Turner Street, Auburn. Passengers going to Social Security must tell the bus driver when boarding the bus. Return pick-up times are to be arranged prior to disembarking.
