toll bridge (name unknown), from NH border Old Post Rd, Kittery Badgers Island bridge to Kittery mainland existed in 1918. 1 Memorial Bridge from Badgers Island to Portsmouth NH opened 1923-08-17. 7 State Rd not yet built in 19201; presumably this was concurrent with the Memorial Bridge. This routing thus predates U.S. Route 1, but was quite likely part of New England Route 1. Pine Hill Rd, York Shore Rd, Ogunquit State Rd was there as early as 1893 1 Bayley Rd, Wells Post Rd was there as early as 1891 1 Bypass Rd, Wells Post Rd bypass present in 1998 aerial photo, but not on 1990 topo map. 3 DeLorme's 2004 Portland region street atlas shows this as mainline! So keep in mind when you see future references - DeLorme is fallible.
