Final Stage of River Road Reconstruction in Windham

WINDHAM - The Maine Department of Transportation is beginning full road construction work on a three-mile-long stretch of River Road in Windham. Once this work is finished, the entire length of River Road will have been fully rebuilt. The current work segment begins at the Westbrook line and stretches north for approximately three miles. Right now, our work is focused on preparing the area by clearing trees, moving utilities, and working on drainage. The first eight weeks of work will also involve archaeological excavation of what, if anything, remains of a frontier fort from the late 1700s. Actual reconstruction of the road will likely begin in 2020. We expect this job will be finished by June 19, 2021. Shaw Brothers Construction of Gorham is the contractor on this work.
