The new Frank J. Wood Bridge is officially open to traffic!
First opened in 1932, the original bridge served for generations as a vital connection between Brunswick and Topsham. As traffic volumes increased and the structure aged, MaineDOT worked with the communities to...

Early morning drive from midcoast Maine to Augusta. Is it cold? Not according to Jib who, I think, is part Newfie and wanted to play fetch….

With packed airports and more folks hitting the road, expect heavier traffic this holiday season. Plan ahead, stay patient, and drive safely to make it to the table on time! #ThanksgivingTravel

It’s been decades since Ken Burns produced his first documentaries in the ‘80s. #TheAmericanRevolution now airing on #PBS is just as compelling as his finest works.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

The view from our neighborhood never gets old — and it’s always changing. The Beaver Moon (yes, that’s really what it’s called) cast its glow over Penobscot Bay last night… and a few hours later, Jib greeted the first light of dawn beneath a bright orange sky. #OwlsHead #Maine

Three months into my new role with MaineDOT, I’ve discovered a great perk: my commute is a daily photo op.
From sunrises over Rockland Harbor to fog and vibrant foliage on quiet lakes, the drive from the midcoast never disappoints.
Maine has a way of turning the ordinary into the spectacular.

How do you get a bobcat, a turkey, & deer across the road? You team up Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife with MaineDOT to build wildlife crossings that accommodate both animal & human activities! Here are some recent trail cam shots from a crossing on the new I-395/Route 9 connector.

Yard work done. Morning run complete. #RedSox sweep the series. Not a bad Sunday. Let’s skip the #MLBAllStar break and keep the streak going.

Last week, we celebrated the opening of the new I-395 / Route 9 Connector with a ribbon cutting in Brewer. Another huge thank you to the dedicated crews, planners, and everyone who poured their time, sweat, and hard work into making this project a reality!
