The major route was closed between the Windham town line and Lawrence Road in Gray.

GRAY, Maine — A portion of Route 202 in Gray has reopened after crews there worked to extinguish a fire at a local concert and event venue Tuesday afternoon. 

Cumberland County dispatch issued a press release shortly before 4 p.m. noting that West Gray Road was closed from the Windham town line to Lawrence Road. The road reopened several hours later, according to an update at approximately 7:45 p.m.

A structure in the area of 342 West Gray Road was fully engulfed, and the fire spread to the grass, Gray Fire Chief Kurt Elkanich told NEWS CENTER Maine at the scene. The chief said it will take some time to fully extinguish. 

The structure was considered a total loss.
