All testing will be conducted at the Somerset EOC, located at 8 County Drive, Skowhegan, ME 04976.As you enter Skowhegan from Rt. 201 or Rt. 104, go across the two Margaret Chase Smith bridges. As you enter the downtown area, you will enter a "triangle" sort of "Rotary". After leaving bridges, go left around the "rotary", get into right lane. Turn right onto Rt. 201 North. Get into left lane, then turn left at the light. (Just after Hight Chevrolet.) This is Pleasant Street, which turns into Norridgewock Avenue. The Somerset County EOC building is about 1 mile out on the right. Caution: When you turn left at the light, the speed limit is 25 mph all the way to the EOC. They do clock with radar often, as people tend to drive fast there. The Somerset EOC building is right by the 45 mph speed limit sign, on the right. We will be in the building next to the road. Use the entrance facing the dispatch building. As a public building, there is no smoking within 25 feet of the entrance door.
