Work on Brunswick Ave. in Gardiner

GARDINER - The Maine Department of Transportation will be continuing its work in downtown Gardiner this week. Crews will be working on Brunswick Ave. from Mechanic St., through the Water St. intersection, and onto Bridge St. Drivers should expect lane shifts because most of the work will be happening in the center of the road. Our goal is to do most of this work at night. Police will help direct traffic. We plan to complete this work between Monday, December 9th and Friday, December 13th. As with all construction, this work is weather-dependent.
