The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Maine Department of Transportation a Project Grant of $371,575 on May 1, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The grant funds infrastructure rehabilitation and improvements to state-owned ferry assets serving Casco Bay, specifically targeting the islands of Chebeague, Great Diamond, Cliff, and Peak's. The scope of work includes pile replacement, fender replacement, cross bracing rehabilitation and replacement, concrete repair, and deck replacement across all four island ferry facilities.

This project aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's authorization under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to support preservation and improvement of transportation infrastructure through federally assisted, state-administered initiatives. As a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, MaineDOT administers the grant to enhance the critical multimodal ferry infrastructure serving island communities within its transportation network.
