MaineDOT to Resume Resurfacing of US Route 1 - Beginning May 8, 2023

The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT)’s Contractor will be resuming road work the week of May 8, 2023 to complete the resurfacing of US Route 1 from the intersection of Adams Drive to Lewis Road. 

Road work will include cold planing (milling) the existing pavement, sealing and repairing cracks, adjusting and repairing drainage structures and placing two layers of new hot mix asphalt.

In an effort to reduce impacts to the traveling public, most of the road work will occur at night, between the hours of 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM.  Drivers should expect alternating one-way traffic during the nighttime hours on Route 1 so the work can be completed safely and efficiently. Two-way traffic will be maintained between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.  The project is expected to be completed by June 30, 2023.

Equipment operation and construction within the confines of roadways is very difficult and safety is always a concern.  Please use caution, and drive slowly when traveling through the work zone.

If you have any questions about the project, please contact the MaineDOT Region 1 office at 207-885-7000.
