The Maine Department of Transportation received a $1.5 million Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on March 18, 2022. The funding supports the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), which provides assistance for construction, preservation, and improvement of highways.

Specifically, the grant funds will support a highway construction project extending approximately 6 miles from Route 1A to Route 9 west of Chemo Pond Road in Brewer, Maine, as well as the replacement of the Wilson Street/I-395 Bridge (#1564) over Interstate 395 located 0.35 miles west of Dirigo Drive in Brewer. The highway component will roughly parallel the Brewer-Holden town line, while the bridge component will replace an existing structure. Both projects aim to improve transportation infrastructure in accordance with the Federal Highway Administration's mission to support state and local partnerships.
