Buxton ? On Tuesday, July 24th, MaineDOT crews will be performing culvert repair work on route 117 in Buxton near the Salmon Falls Bridge. This one day event will close this short section of Route 117 between Route 202/Route 4 and the Simpson Road to all through traffic from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Detour signs will help guide motorists to the alternate routes.
Durham ? MaineDOT will be holding a preliminary public meeting at the Durham Fire and Rescue facility located at 615 Hallowell Road on Tuesday, July 24th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to discuss future road improvements to Route 136. The area affected by June?s heavy rains begins one miles south of Snow Road and extends northerly for two miles.
Representatives of MaineDOT will be in attendance to listen to concerns, receive comments and answer questions from anyone with interest in this project.
Clinton ? Crews will be paving the on and off ramps on Interstate 95 northbound in Clinton from Friday night into Saturday morning on July 27th into the 28th. While the on and off ramps for Exit 138 will be paved between the hours of 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., motorists are asked to use either Exit 133 in Fairfield or Exit 150 in Pittsfield, or to plan accordingly and seek alternate routes.
This paving project, performed by Lane Construction Corporation, is to provide safety improvements as well as long term durability to the riding surface.
Rockland ? On Saturday, July 28th, and sporadically throughout the summer and fall, passenger capacity on the Maine State Ferry Service route from Rockland to Vinalhaven will be diminished.
North Yarmouth ? Crews will be replacing a large cross culvert on Monday, July 30th on Route 115 in North Yarmouth. The road will be closed for this one day event while work is being done.
Detour signs will help guide motorists away from the area by directing traffic from Route 115 to Depot Hill Road to Route 231, then back to Route 115. The work site will be located just south of Harmony Hall, which is located between the intersections of Mill Road and Route 115, and Haskell Road and Route 115.
Bristol ? A culvert replacement will take place on the Harrington Road in Bristol beginning Tuesday, July 31st. This work will be performed approximately one mile southeast of the Carl Bailey Road.
The detour begins at the intersection of Route 130 to Route 129, and ends at the intersection of Route 130/Harrington Road. This culvert replacement is expected to be completed by Thursday, August 2nd.
Richmond ? A strut (large culvert) replacement will take place starting August 6th on US Route 197 in Richmond, approximately one quarter mile west of High School Drive.
This work requires a full closure of approximately 300 to 400 ft on US Route 197. Detour signs and message boards will help guide motorists away from the work zone. The signs will direct those coming from the Interstate to go in the opposite direction to US Route 201 onto Langdon Road, then right onto Alexander Reed Road, which leads back to Route 197. This detour is approximately two miles.
Jefferson/Augusta ? Crews will be replacing culverts and perform shoulder widening along Route 17 from Jefferson to Augusta beginning Monday, August 6th.
The project begins just southeast of Winslows Mills Road and extends almost thirteen miles westerly to just east of Kenniston Street in Augusta.

Flaggers will assist motorists through the alternating one-way traffic in each work zone one-half mile at a time.
Buckfield/Hebron ? MaineDOT crews will be replacing multiple cross culverts on Route 124 from South Hill Road in Buckfield to Bryant Road in Hebron during the week of August 6th.
Detour signs will guide motorists around the work zone via South Hill Road in Buckfield to Bryant Road in Hebron, and then back to Route 124.
