State Sen. Justin Chenette of Saco has announced the details of of a Maine's three-year transportation infrastructure work plan, and what it means for the state and region. 
The plan is released annually with an outline of the Maine Department of Transportation’s strategy for road, bridge and other transportation projects throughout the state.
"The public must have access to safe roads, bridges, and railways not just for ourselves, but for the foundation of future economic growth," Chenette said. "I hope that this outline of the department’s work over the next few years is helpful for local officials and the members of the public."

According to the MDOT, the work plan includes more than $2.3 billion worth of construction and maintenance, of which $511.1 million is scheduled for 604 capital projects in 2018. 

The three-year plan estimates MDOT will invest in 229 miles of highway construction; 1,128 miles of pavement preservation; 1,800 miles of light capital paving for roads and highways; 240 spot and safety improvements; and 260 bridge construction projects.
