  • 2011 Downeaster Expansion Overview
    DOWNEASTER EXPANSION PROJECT OVERVIEW BACKGROUND The Amtrak Downeaster makes five daily round trips between Boston and Portland, serving 10 communities in three states along its 116-mile corridor. The Boston to Portland service has been in operation since December 2001. Included in the original plan for the Downeaster service, but not possible until now, was the extension of service 30 miles beyond Portland to Freeport and Brunswick. Expansion of service to Brunswick is important because it will provide more mobility to Maine residents, increase tourism, support the redevelopment of the Brunswick Naval Air Station (BNAS) and provide a connection to the state owned Rockland Branch, which extends 58 miles from Brunswick to Rockland, the heart of mid-coast Maine. Although a capital plan to upgrade the freight line between Portland and Brunswick to passenger standards had been in place for years, the lack of capital funding to complete the project remained a barrier until spring 2009 when the High Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Grant Program was announced. Administered by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the HSIPR grant program made $8 billion available as a “down payment” on investment in our nation’s passenger rail system through a national competitive application process. The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA) submi�ed an application for the Downeaster Expansion Project, and was awarded $35 million. Under the leadership of Governor John Baldacci, the State of Maine agreed to provide the remaining funds (approximately $3 million) to complete the project. The Downeaster Expansion Construction Project includes the rehabilitation of approximately 27 miles of track between Portland and Brunswick owned by Pan Am Railways, and approximately 1.2 miles of track in Brunswick owned by the MaineDOT.

  • Transportation
    8. TRANSPORTATION Introduction This section of the Plan deals with transportation issues such as roads, traffic impacts, railroads, pedestrian links, water transportation, aviation, and public transportation. Mobility is an essential ingredient in ensuring the community’s quality of life. Although Wiscasset offers a variety of transportation options, motor vehicle transportation remains the primary means of traveling. This section affects and should be read in conjunction with other chapters of this Plan, particularly: Future Land Use Plan, Regional Issues, Economy, Municipal Facilities, and Capital Improvement Plan. Road data including replacement and maintenance data is contained in the Municipal Facilities section. The information within this section was primarily gathered from the following sources: Maine Department of Transportation, Maine State Planning Office, Stafford Business Advisors Rail Station Studies, Dufresne-Henry, Inc. Airport Master Plan, OEST Associates, Inc. Airport Improvement Project, and the Waterfront Master Plan. Overview In Wiscasset the primary mode of transportation is the automobile. The town is served by a rail line that connects Brunswick with Rockland and provides both freight transportation and seasonal passenger service. A municipal airport with convenient access to Route 1 and Route 144 offers a variety of aviation related activities. Wiscasset Harbor, once the busiest port east of Boston, is currently home to commercial fisherman and recreational boaters. Wiscasset is well connected to the nation and the world. There is easy access by road to the national interstate system, by water to the Atlantic Ocean and world ports, by rail to the Rockland Branch and all of North America, and by air to every part of the world.
