AUGUSTA – Sen. Tim Nangle, D-Windham, is pleased to announce the details of Maine’s three-year transportation infrastructure work plan, and what it means for Senate District 26. The plan is released annually with an outline of the Maine Department of Transportation’s strategy for road, bridge and other transportation upgrades and maintenance projects.

In 2025, the Maine DOT will undertake numerous projects to improve transportation in Senate District 26, including significant investments in paving, safety improvements and planning for expanded transit and pedestrian access across Windham, Westbrook and neighboring communities. Additionally, there will be improvements to the Frye Island Ferry Service.

“As Chair of the Transportation Committee, I’m proud to see meaningful investments coming to the communities I represent,” said Sen.
