ROUTE 9 PAVING PROJECT

The road is looking fine. Drives nice, too. There have been some "one lane" traffic delays but they haven't been too long or terribly inconvenient. Certainly worth the price for the improvement over the potholes.

It is really amazing how fast sections have been done and phases completed. Unfortunately, in talking with some of the work crews, it seems that the Maine DOT didn't take in to consideration any of the reported problems of water runoff caused by the way the road was paved in the first place.

The current project is to remove the old stuff and replace with new stuff leaving the slopes and curves just the way they were before. This is even after the original crew had been advised of the soil erosion and uprooted trees on shoreline properties between Squirrel Lane and Comins Hall. Our ever-effective (defective) state government agencies at work. And DEP thinks THEY know how property owners should and shouldn't manage their own land. Yeh. Right.
