Littleton-monticello, route 1

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Maine Department of Transportation a formula grant of $3,267,227.73 on August 4, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The project involves the installation of an ultra-thin bonded wearing course on Route 1 in Littleton-Monticello, Maine, extending 10.21 miles northward from 0.36 miles north of Wiley Road. This pavement resurfacing project represents infrastructure preservation work consistent with FHWA's statutory formula allocation to states for highway construction, preservation, and improvement activities.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to support a comprehensive range of eligible highway infrastructure activities. As a state department of transportation, MaineDOT was selected through established state transportation planning processes to undertake this pavement preservation project, which falls within eligible activities for highway maintenance and improvement on public roads. The award reflects FHWA's ongoing commitment to maintaining and enhancing the nation's highway system through state-administered projects.
