The Maine Turnpike Approach Road is a short expressway beginning at exit 45 of the Maine Turnpike (I-95) and running east for a little short of two miles to Main Street (US 1/ME 9) in South Portland. It also provides a connection to I-295 via the Scarborough Connector (ME 701). The exits are assigned letters instead of numbers, and the letters are only posted on exit gore signs. The ME 703 designation is signed solely on mileposts. Other signage references only the other highway that can be reached through it. The Maine Turnpike Approach Road is alternatively known as Samantha Smith Way.
