Sen. Bill Diamond, D-Windham, is pleased to announce the details of Maine’s three-year transportation infrastructure work plan, and what it means for the Sebago Lake region. The plan is released annually with an outline of the Maine Department of Transportation’s strategy for road, bridge and other transportation upgrades and maintenance projects.
“As chair of the Legislature’s Transportation Committee, I appreciate the amount of work that is required to maintain our roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure,” said Sen. Diamond. “These projects will make traveling in the Sebago Lake region safer and easier for everyone.”
