  • 2016-2018 Mainedot Work Plan
    MaineDOT Work Plan Calendar Years 2016-2017-2018 January 2016 January 4, 2016 Dear MaineDOT Customer: Today, I am pleased to present the MaineDOT Work Plan for Calendar Years 2016-2017-2018. In this fourth annual Work Plan, our customers and partners will find basic information about the construction projects, maintenance, operations and administrative activities that MaineDOT will undertake over the next three years. Our customers—users of the transportation system—can learn about the work we plan to do in their town, city or region, and about where and how their tax dollars will be used. The Work Plan can help local and regional officials, legislators, government agencies, the construction industry, modal advocates and others with transportation interests—to plan their work, and also, to assess our effectiveness. The annual Work Plan has been well received, and is becoming more specific and more useful, every year. The estimated value of work in this Work Plan is more than $2.2 billion, with some 2,184 work items to be performed over three years. The Calendar Year (CY) 2016 work alone includes 497 capital projects with a combined total value of $520 million. The projects and activities listed for CY 2016 are more definitely funded and scheduled, while listings for CYs 2017 and 2018 may be more subject to fluctuations in funding and prices, permitting variables and weather conditions. The projects and work activities described in the Work Plan include all transportation modes in service in Maine—highways and bridges, transit (bus), passenger and freight railroad, aviation, ferries, ports and other marine facilities, and bicycle-pedestrian projects and operations.

    MAINE FISHING GUIDE ALL IN FOR THE MAINE OUTDOORS An age-old escape from day-to-day stress (and a modern escape from screens), a good day of fishing offers equal parts relaxation, anticipation, and reward. Out on the water, surrounded by mountains and pines, you can make priceless outdoor memories, teach kids lifelong lessons — and if you’re lucky, rehash it all over a fresh-caught dinner. Fishing in Maine CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE Maine has over 32,000 miles of rivers and streams and 6,000 Unmatched beauty lakes and ponds. This wealth of waterways includes the known fishing hot spots in this guide, as well as plenty of pristine, remote waters just waiting to become your favorite get-away- Abundant natural resources from-it-all spot. Options abound: you can venture deep into the Allagash Wilderness Waterway or Baxter State Park, or stay close to the coast, where many river reaches offer natural, Lifelong memories undeveloped shorelines and unsurpassed fishing action, all within the bounds of cities and towns. SOMETHING FOR EVERY LEVEL OF ANGLER Every year, serious anglers from New England and beyond flock to their favorite Maine waters, putting their skills to the test against our famous leaping landlocks, fierce-fighting smallmouth bass (found in remote and populated regions alike), and trophy largemouth bass in the coastal region. Maine is the only state in the lower 48 to have native populations of Arctic charr and is the last true stronghold for wild brook trout. But you don’t have to be an expert angler to enjoy a day of fishing.
