AUGUSTA -- Senator Way, formerly known as Storey Street, will remain a two-way street until futher notice, officials said this morning.

The Maine Department of Transportation and the developer of the Augusta Crossing shopping center decided to keep the two-way traffic because of concerns about construction on the perimeter road being built behind the Kennebec Journal, which shares Senator Way with the Best Western Senator Inn and Spa.

There was no immediate word on when the street would turn into a two-lane, one-way road as originally planned.
