MaineDOT has informed the City that it will begin mill and paving projects on several state roads in South Portland beginning July 14, 2024. The projects include:
- Route 77/Casco Bay Bridge (both directions)
- Broadway (Cottage to bridge)
- Ocean St. (Market to Broadway, plus spur)
- Evans St. (Nutter to Highland)
- Running Hill Rd (Maine Mall Road to Scarborough line)
The City will be having a pre-construction meeting with MaineDOT on July 2, 2024 and will have a better sense of timeframes and traffic measures that the state will be taking. However, we are providing this notice so that you can plan your travel. We suggest you carve out extra time if you travel on these roads, or plan alternate routes. When we have updated information, we will update our Current & Anticipated Construction Projects page, where you can also sign up to receive an alert when there is an update.
The City will also be paving a number of local roads this season. See the list of planned projects. Please note that we are not always able to announce timelines for paving in advance, as this work is dependent on a number of factors, including weather and contractor availability.
