Posted: April 02, 2025 | Senator Brenner

AUGUSTA – Sen. Stacy Brenner, D-Scarborough, is pleased to announce the details of Maine’s three-year transportation infrastructure work plan, and what it means for Senate District 30. 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. It seeks to fulfill MDOT’s mission “to support economic opportunity and quality of life by responsibly providing [its] customers the safest and most reliable transportation system possible, given available resources.”

The three-year work plan makes a historic $4.8 billion investment in construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure. It includes 2,716 individual work items for the calendar years 2025, 2026 and 2027. It represents smart and steady progress across transportation modes, and it benefits everyone who lives, works or does business in Maine.

“I’m thrilled to share these valuable investments in infrastructure to help support Senate District 30’s growth, development and general maintenance,” said Sen. Brenner. “This work plan will improve road safety and enhance our transportation to better serve families and businesses throughout the district.”
