Began form and rebar work for the pier stem.
Throughout April crews placed concrete for stage 2 of the pier footing.
Work in November saw concrete being placed for the median pier footing, with the construction forms and reinforcing steel being tied for the median pier stem wall. Workers completed H-pile driving at abutment 1, and began construction forms and tying reinforcing steel. At abutment 2, work involved the construction of driving frame, vibro tips, and splices. The Northbound intersection shoulder was graded and paved.
Work throughout June involved the installation of pedestals and reprogramming of light timing at intersections. Formwork was striped and concrete waterproofed on Bucknam Road sidewalk. Granite curbing was installed. Johnson Road was prepared, and overhang brackets installed.
MaineDOT is replacing the bridges that cross I-295 in Falmouth over Bucknam and Johnson Roads.

I would like to see more J1772 charging stations on Route 1 north of Portland and heading to Acadia. Bath has none! and those further along are private, associated with inns, more difficult to find and inconvenient if you're not staying. Also many more in central and western Maine. At the moment, I can't conveniently drive from Portland to Baxter State Park in my (83-mile av. range) e-Golf. |
