Woolwich, station 46 bridge #3039 & U.S. Route 1 safety improvements build grant

The Maine Department of Transportation received a $25 million Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation on September 3, 2021 under the National Infrastructure Investments (CFDA 20.933) program. The grant funding will support two bridge replacement and safety improvement projects in Maine. Specifically, the Maine DOT will replace the structurally deficient Station 46 Bridge over Back River Creek located 1.2 miles east of Bath for $25 million. Additionally, the funding will support replacing three large culverts on George Wright Road in Pleasant Cove with a new Pleasant Cove Bridge to address safety issues. The RAISE grant program aims to fund surface transportation capital investments that address critical issues like bridge replacement and road safety. This award will help the Maine DOT address critical infrastructure needs through the replacement of aging bridges and culverts.
