AUGUSTA—
York County legislators recently announced that nearly 4.5 miles of Route 109 in Wells have been slated to undergo reconstruction.
“This project has been seven years in the making,” said State Senator Ron Collins (R-Wells), the new Senate chair of the Transportation Committee. “The York County delegation has worked diligently to ensure that this road made the list of scheduled projects.”
The project is due to begin this spring and has been split into two phases because of its complexity. The first phase, due for completion by October 2012, will include nearly 2.5 miles of Route 109 from the Wells Turnpike exit to Meetinghouse Road. That portion of the project has been awarded to R.J. Grondin and Sons out of Gorham, Maine, which submitted the winning bid.
The second phase is due to extend into 2013 and will continue on from Meetinghouse Road north for approximately two more miles.
“Thanks to everyone working together at the state and local levels, Wells will enjoy the benefit of a substantial amount of state funding invested in rebuilding Route 109, one of our main arterial roads,” said State Rep. Kathy Chase (R-Wells). “This first phase alone is expected to cost nearly $4 million.”
“I am thrilled that the Department of Transportation’s priorities are beginning to align with the priorities of York County,” said State Senator Jon Courtney (R-Springvale), the Senate majority leader. “This roads need for repair is long overdue.”
