Details of Maine’s three-year transportation infrastructure work plan, and what it means for Brunswick, Freeport, Harpswell, Pownal and North Yarmouth, have been released. The plan is released annually with an outline of the Maine Department of Transportation’s strategy for road, bridge and other transportation upgrades and maintenance projects. The projects were announced by state Sen. Mattie Daughtry, D-Brunswick, on Tuesday.

“I’m very happy to see investments in our towns from the Maine Department of Transportation,” Daughtry said. “I encourage you to learn about the projects and plans happening along your commute, in your neighborhood and all across the state.”

According to the MDOT, the work plan covers approximately $3.17 billion worth of construction and maintenance, which includes 2,316 individual work items. The three-year plan estimates MDOT will invest in 115 miles of highway construction and rehabilitation; 1,057 miles of pavement preservation; 2,162 miles of light capital paving for roads and highways; 353 safety and spot improvements; and 235 bridge projects.
