The Maine Department of Transportation has released its three-year blueprint outlining $4.5 billion in transportation investments across the state.
Close to 2,800 projects are planned through 2028.
“We recognize that our transportation system touches every household and every business, every day,” said Dale F. Doughty, the MaineDOT Commissioner. “We plan carefully, adjust when necessary, and keep our focus where it belongs, on delivering a transportation network that serves Maine.”
The three-year work plan will include:
- Paving 3,046 miles of highways.
- Rehabilitating or replacing 235 bridges, including major preservation efforts for the Casco Bay Bridge and the Aroostook River Bridge.
- Expanding and enhancing transit services statewide.
- Advancing active transportation projects in Sanford, Windham, Portland (the Roux Institute offramp from I-295) and the Mountain Division Trail Unitil rail segment.
- Investing in ports, rail, ferries and aviation.
“While federal funding uncertainty remains, MaineDOT will continue to plan ahead, adapt, and deliver projects that maintain and strengthen Maine’s transportation network,” Doughty said.
