Bangor interstate 95 bridges #1427 and #5800

The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) received a $305,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective July 31, 2025. The award funds the replacement of two Interstate 95 bridges (#1427 and #5800) that cross Stillwater Avenue in Bangor, Maine, located 0.10 miles north of Interstate 95 southbound exit #186 on-ramp. This project represents infrastructure preservation and improvement activities eligible under CFDA 20.205, which authorizes federal financial assistance for highway construction, preservation, and related transportation improvements.

As a state-administered federal transportation program, the Highway Planning and Construction award enables MaineDOT to execute bridge replacement activities that meet federal design, environmental, and safety requirements. The project delivery aligns with FHWA's stewardship and oversight framework, whereby MaineDOT assumes responsibility for design and construction oversight on Interstate System facilities in coordination with FHWA division office approval processes. This award supports the agency's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve Maine's transportation infrastructure through federally assisted highway and bridge replacement projects.
