AUGUSTA - The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) has identified a bridge span as the preferred alternative to replace the existing four box culverts on the Machias Dike Bridge, which carries Route 1 over the Middle River in the Town of Machias. The current structure dates to the Civil War era and is deteriorating.
BETHEL - The Maine Department of Transportation will be doing paving work on Parkway Road in Bethel. The project area begins at Route 2 and extends east for nearly half a mile to Route 26. Work is scheduled to begin on June 13th and end by July 21st. Drivers may encounter a single-lane, alternating traffic pattern throughout the work area. The contractor on this project is Pike Industries of Westbrook. This work is bundled with other highway work in Oxford County into a single contract in the amount of $10,492,099.

FAIRFIELD - The Maine Department of Transportation is temporarily closing two I-95 northbound on-ramps in Fairfield in the coming days to accommodate overnight maintenance work.
On Sunday night, crews will close the I-95 northbound on-ramp at Exit 133. The ramp will be closed from 9:00 p.m. on June 12th and is scheduled to reopen by 6:00 a.m. on June 13th.
On Monday night, MaineDOT will close the I-95 northbound on-ramp at Exit 132. The ramp will close at 9:00 p.m. on June 13th and is scheduled to reopen by 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
BRUNSWICK - The Maine Department of Transportation will be replacing a culvert on Route 1 (Old Portland Road) in Brunswick next week. The new culvert will be bigger than the existing one to increase the resiliency of this infrastructure.
This work requires the full closure of part Route 1 from 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 21st until 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22nd. The closure area is approximately three miles north of where Route 1 meets I-295 at Exit 24 in Freeport and just south of the junction of Route 1 and Highland Road.
KNOX COUNTY - The Maine Department of Transportation is beginning two projects to make improvements in Camden next week. One project will involve drainage, sidewalk, and signal work on the part of Route 1 (Elm Street) that runs between Quarry Hill Road in Camden and Commercial Street in Rockport. The other project will involve drainage and sidewalk work on the part of Route 105 (Washington Street) that runs between Matthew John Avenue and Shirttail Point Road in Camden.
CYR PLANTATION - The Maine Department of Transportation is continuing to work with its contracting partners to repair and reopen the part of Route 1 in Cyr Plantation that washed out late last month. The new box culvert is in the ground, but weather conditions are slowing our progress. Frequent rainfall and wet conditions create challenges for the earthwork. We are working hard to try to reopen this road to traffic by Friday, July 1st - ahead of the Independence Day weekend. We want to thank the members of the traveling public for their continued patience and understanding.
HAMPDEN - As part of the ongoing work on the Hampden Bridge Bundle Project, the Maine Department of Transportation will be opening the new West Souadabscook Stream Bridge to traffic on the southbound side of I-95 on the night of Sunday, June 26th. There will be lane closures on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights.
Interstate speed limits will be reduced to 55 MPH through the work zone. Drivers should drive carefully, observe signage, and obey speed limits. The safety of work crews is MaineDOT's top priority.
PORTLAND - Next week, the Maine Department of Transportation will be doing paving work on the new Veranda Street Bridge, which carries I-295 over Route 1 (Veranda Street) in Portland.
