CAMDEN - The ongoing Maine Department of Transportation project in the Town of Camden will begin impacting downtown traffic again during the week of April 12th. This work involves making sidewalk and draining improvements on Elm Street (Route 1). The project area begins at Union Street and extends north approximately one-quarter of a mile, just past Bay View Street. The upcoming work will also impact Commercial Street.
We plan to maintain two-way traffic during as much of the construction period as possible. The contract only allows a single-lane traffic pattern at the southern end of the project area. Because we will be working on underground drainage, on-street parking will be limited during this work. We thank residents, business owners, and members of the traveling public in advance for their patience and understanding while we make these important safety improvements.
The contractor on this project is Ranger Construction of Fairfield. The contract amount is $869,930. Our estimated final completion date on this project is June 18th, 2021.
