Maine DOT project is being headed up by Mike. Sidewalks and Drainage projects are active right now in Camden. Updating the drainage in town to increase its capacity. Sidewalk repair has new curbs as well. Contract ends June 11, so we hope we will be done by mid-June! It’s challenging working in old urban settings such as Camden. $869K starting costs but will go up a bit as we move forward. New striping has begun to slow traffic and sinkhole work is being repaired. Sidewalk project is a locally administered project. Town has wanted this project for many years and is now moving forward! Should start next fall. The second side walk project is around the Hannaford Area.
