New Private highway proposed by Cianbro.... [View all]



http://bangordailynews.com/2012/04/09/news/bangor/private-east-west-highway-under-study-differs-from-federally-designated-corridor/

Thought this might be of interest to Maine DUers...they want to include a 2000 ft right of way for their 4/6 lane highway. I suspect that would be for some gas pipeline at a later date. While I think a East-West highway is not a bad idea, I don't see much value for Maine taxpayers to accept this...it will be a private toll road with limited access points...seems like a Newport to Coburn Gore highway would be of more value to the people of Maine.
