The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $371,575 to the Maine Department of Transportation on May 1, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to rehabilitate and improve state-owned ferry infrastructure assets serving Casco Bay. The project encompasses critical infrastructure repairs and replacements at four island ferry terminals: Chebeague, Great Diamond, Peak's, and Cliff Island. Specific work includes pile replacement, fender replacement, cross-bracing rehabilitation and replacement, concrete repairs, and deck replacement at each location.

This project grant supports the FHWA's mandate to preserve and improve transportation infrastructure across the United States. The work addresses essential maintenance and safety improvements to ferry terminal facilities that serve as vital multimodal transportation connections for island communities in Maine. As a state transportation department, MaineDOT administers the project in accordance with federal requirements under 23 CFR and 2 CFR 200, and environmental reviews comply with applicable National Environmental Policy Act requirements.
