Brewer-eddington, I-395/9 connector & brewer, wilston street/I-395 bridge #1564

The Maine Department of Transportation received a $4 million Formula Grant award on April 7, 2021 from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. The funding supports the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), and will be used for highway and bridge construction projects in Brewer, Maine. Specifically, the grant will fund construction of a new 6-mile highway connector between Interstate 395 and Route 9, as well as replacement of the Wilson Street/I-395 Bridge over Interstate 395. The highway project will parallel the Brewer-Holden town line, while the bridge replacement is located 0.35 miles west of Dirigo Drive. Both infrastructure improvement efforts are expected to enhance regional transportation connectivity in eastern Maine.
