KINGFIELD - The Maine Department of Transportation is making improvements to the sidewalks of Routes 27 and 142 in Kingfield. Our work area starts near the elementary school driveway and extends north a little bit more than a half-mile to High Street. We are making these improvements to increase pedestrian safety near the school. During construction, drivers should expect an alternating, single-lane traffic pattern. We expect to finish this work by the end of August. The contractor for this project is Ranger Contracting of Winslow. The contract amount is $711,748.
