MDOT - Highway Preservation Paving Project on Route 115

The Maine Department of Transportation is currently working on estimating a Highway Preservation Paving Project on Route 115 in the Towns of Gray and North Yarmouth for advertisement of the subject project for competitive bids in March of 2021. Construction will occur during the summer months; exact start and completion dates will be forwarded once a schedule from the Contractor has been reviewed and approved. 

The project is further described as follows: 

Beginning 0.12 miles east of Hillcrest Drive in Gray, and extending southeasterly 4.90 miles to Walnut Hill Road (Route 231) in North Yarmouth. 
After the new pavement is placed, no permit to open this segment of highway will be granted for a period of 3 years except as provided in Title 23, M.R.S.A. §3352. The purpose of this letter is to make the necessary notifications of the project to abutters, municipal officials and occupants of the highway under the provisions of 23 M.R.S.A. § 3351.

If the municipality has existing loop detection at signalized intersection(s) impacted by the project and wishes to upgrade to video detection, there may be opportunities for the Department to assist with a portion of those costs. 

We hereby request that you provide a copy of this notice to all municipal officials, employees and boards with responsibilities for utility and/or land-use planning/permitting, and that you post this letter on any municipal public bulletin boards, media outlets and/or municipal websites as a public meeting will not be held regarding this project unless specifically requested by the municipality. 

Should you have any questions, concerns or other areas of interest, we would appreciate your comments and input. LaRay Hamilton is the Project Manager for this project, and can be reached at 885-7029. 

Sincerely, 

LaRay L. Hamilton
