- Paving 3,046 miles of state and state-aid 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/Roux, and the Mountain Division “Trail Until Rail” segment.
- Investing in ports, rail, ferries and aviation – reflecting the multimodal nature of Maine’s economy.
“This document reflects thousands of hours of work across the department,” said Dale Doughty, Maine DOT commissioner, in a statement.
“We recognize that our transportation system touches every household and every business, every day,” he noted. “We plan carefully, adjust when necessary, and keep our focus where it belongs – on delivering a transportation network that serves Maine.”
