WARREN — House District 95 Representative Bill Pluecker, I-Warren, welcomes $7,341,000 worth of road and bridge construction coming to Appleton, Hope, Union and Warren as part of the Maine Department of Transportation 2021-2022-2023 Plan. 

“One of the most important jobs our state has is the upkeep and maintenance of our roads and byways,” said Rep. Pluecker. “Without effective transportation, our economy, access to food, and access to healthcare all crumble. I am thankful that we are seeing the much needed investment in our infrastructure come to our district in these difficult times.” 

Each January, MaineDOT produces a three-year comprehensive work plan that includes capital projects, maintenance and operations activities, planning initiatives, and administrative functions performed by MaineDOT and its transportation partners that receive federal funds directly (such as airports and transit agencies). The 2021 Edition (which covers calendar years 2021, 2022, 2023) includes 2,080 work items with a total value of $2.71 billion.
