Maine Mall Road Reconstruction
2009 Construction Season
The Maine Department of Transportation is reconstructing a portion of Maine Mall Road during the 2009 construction season. This project, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Stimulus), involves a portion of Maine Mall road between Philbrook Avenue and the Maine Mall entrance south of Gorham Road.
The project features the first application of a porous paving system on a high-volume public road in the Northeast. With its porous surface, rain and snowmelt pass through to the gravel-and-sand filtering system below, reducing pollution of surface water bodies such as Long Creek.
