Route 1 Improvement Project in Ogunquit Breaks for the Summer

Ogunquit, Maine (May 19, 2015): The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) began a $13.5 million dollar project to reconstruct Route 1 in Ogunquit and build two new bridges over the Ogunquit and Josias Rivers in early March 2015. Due to the heavy tourism economy of the area, road construction will be suspended during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, and again from June 21st through Labor Day. Though work on the two new bridges will continue, temporary bridges will be sure to keep traffic moving.
