State to replace Route 25 culvert
The Maine Department of Transportation is working on estimating a large culvert replacement project on Route 25 before advertising the project for competitive bids in May of 2020.
The culvert is located 0.41 miles west of the Bernard P. Rines Bypass at Brandy Brook. Construction will occur during the summer months; exact start and completion dates will be announced when a schedule from the contractor has been reviewed and approved.
After the new pavement is placed, no permit to open this segment of highway will be granted for a period of three years. A public meeting will not be held regarding this project unless specifically requested by the municipality.
For more information, contact DOT Project Manager LaRay Hamilton at 885-7029.

Absences haven’t risen to 15% or more that requires reporting to the Maine Department of Education, Perry said.
