Pavement Re-striping Program to Begin Monday, May 21

Public advised to use caution at newly painted intersections and streets

PORTLAND, Maine – The City is alerting the public that street and crosswalk re-striping work will begin Monday, May 21, and will continue throughout the spring. Crews will be working the daytime hours to take advantage of the warmer temps so the new paint can dry quicker. Weather is a factor as the painting work cannot occur when the street is wet or during a rain event. Work will begin in the Old Port and spread across the city from there.


Please obey all safety zones and do not drive or walk over fresh paint in the work areas. Pedestrians, motorcycles, and cyclists should use caution while crossing newly-painted areas as it can be slippery while the paint is drying.
