The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Maine Department of Transportation $3,578,521.24 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on June 24, 2025, for the replacement of Days Mill Bridge (#2221) spanning the Kennebunk River in Kennebunk-Arundel, Maine. The bridge replacement project, located 0.02 miles north of Days Mills Road, is expected to reach completion by December 31, 2030. This formula grant allocation supports critical transportation infrastructure preservation and improvement activities authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, enabling the state to address bridge condition and safety through full structural replacement of the existing crossing.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance to states for highway and bridge infrastructure work, with funding distributed through statutory formula allocations and discretionary grants. The Days Mill Bridge project represents a standard eligible activity under the program, delivering essential infrastructure improvements to Maine's transportation network. As a formula grant recipient, MaineDOT administers the award in coordination with FHWA oversight, subject to applicable environmental review, design, and safety requirements under federal highway standards and regulations.
