Here Are the Most Expensive Maine DOT Projects Coming to 2022 By County

The Maine Department of Transportation released its three-year work plan for 2022 - 2024 last week.  Being the nerd that I am, I wanted to see what's happening where and when, and... how much is it going to cost.

The 2022 Three-Year Work Plan From the MaineDOT

The plan is prefaced with a letter from the State of Maine Department of Transportation's Commissioner, Bruce Van Note, explaining what is included in the report, detailing how many projects are in the works and the ultimate price tag of what's in store for the next three year's worth of projects:

"This Work Plan includes all capital projects and programs, maintenance and operations activities, planning initiatives, and administrative functions. This plan contains 2,316 individual work items with a total value of $3.17 billion. It consists principally of work to be delivered or coordinated through MaineDOT, but it also includes funding and work by other transportation partners, including airports and transit agencies."

In this plan, we see acknowledgment of a huge contributor of funds via the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that transpired at the end of 2021.  The plan continues with what is expected for sources of funding, use of funds, county-level projects, statewide capital programs and more, for the next three years.
