Paving Begins Today on I95 Between Waterville and Pittsfield

With the ice and snow season pretty much gone at this point, construction season is upon us, Maine.

We can now start to expect work on all of those cracks and crevices, potholes and frost heaves now until the start of next season's snowfall. In fact, we can start seeing roadwork on I95 starting now.

Roadwork Between Waterville and Pittsfield

Starting Monday, May 2nd, the Maine Department of Transportation will be doing some paving work and safety improvement for the stretch of I95 between Waterville and Pittsfield. The Maine DOT is stating this will affect 18 miles of both the north- and south-bound sides, near Exit 127 in Waterville and the Johnson Flat Road overpass in Pittsfield.
