WISCASSET AND WOOLWICH - Next week, the Maine Department of Transportation will be starting a paving project on Route 1 in Wiscasset and Woolwich. The project area begins a quarter-mile north of Montsweag in Woolwich and extends north for nearly four miles, ending just south of where Route 1 meets Route 27 in Wiscasset. In addition to paving work, this project will include drainage and safety improvements. Drivers should expect a single-lane traffic pattern between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. from Sunday nights to Friday mornings. The contractor can perform day work if a two-way traffic pattern is maintained. The contractor on his project is All States Asphalt out of Richmond. The contract amount is $2,493,607. MaineDOT's estimated completion date for this project is October 20th.
