Maine Seeks to Lessen Environmental Impact of Project The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) seeks to preserve more than 1,600 acres of wetlands to compensate for the environmental impact of the planned construction of a controversial 6-mi.-long connector between I-395 in Holden and Maine Route 9 in Eddington. The move follows years of local opposition to the new roadway. The state agency is seeking approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to preserve the 1,628 acres on either side of Mann Hill Road in Holden to offset the construction’s environmental impact. MaineDOT outlined its plans to preserve the land in a June 29 permit application with the federal agency, the Daily News reported. The proposal marks the latest stage in the development of the connector, an effort that has been in the works — and debated — for decades. The new roadway would extend I395 from its current end near the Brewer-

Holden town line northeast to its intersection with Rt. 9. Currently, motorists must use Maine Rt. 46, which passes through Eddington and Holden, to travel between the two larger roads. MaineDOT expects to choose a contractor by this fall and begin construction in early 2022, said Paul Merrill, an agency spokesperson. A related construction project began last summer on the replacement of the Wilson Street bridge in Brewer, which carries U.S. Rt 1A over I-395. The Daily News reported that if the USACE approves the state’s application to preserve the wetlands, MaineDOT would transfer ownership of the acreage to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, which would manage the land. “It’s a pretty sizable area,” noted Benjamin Breadmore, Holden’s town manager. “It’s the single largest tract of land under single ownership” in the community. Merrill told the Bangor newspaper that

MaineDOT has already purchased the land for $2 million. The connector route will feature bridges carrying Eastern Avenue in Brewer as well as Clewleyville and Levenseller roads past the Eddington-Holden town line over the new connector roadway. Additionally, another bridge will support the connector as it crosses over Lambert Road, also by the Eddington-Holden town line. Project Likely to Proceed In the two decades the state has planned the road, residents of Brewer, Eddington and Holden have spoken out against the highway project, worried that the state would seize their land to build the road, or that it would cut through or near their properties, according to the Daily News. The three municipalities also approved resolves to voice their opposition to the connector. In Holden, Breadmore said, “two or three homes have been taken” to prepare for the road construction.

State Rep. Kevin O’Connell, a Democrat from Brewer, said that he had opposed the project during the nine years he served on the Brewer City Council. The resolves from Holden, Brewer and Eddington, “got no response,” he said. “There’s a lot of bitterness out there because of the non-answers and meetings that didn’t do anything,” O’Connell added. “We already fought the fight, and no one listened.” Another area legislator, state Sen. Kimberley Rosen, a Bucksport Republican, proposed legislation in 2019 to suspend construction and conduct another outside analysis of the project to determine whether it should proceed. That bill died in March 2019. Rosen and state Sen. Bradlee Farrin, a Norridgewock Republican who sits on the Legislature’s transportation committee, have both approved of the wetland preservation project, a spokesperson told the Bangor news outlet. 

City of Hampden, Maine DOT Celebrates Boston to Build New ‘First Bridge of Its Kind in the World’ Mile-Long Bikeway from page 1

Heavy equipment dealer ChadwickBaRoss Inc. announced an exclusive distribution agreement throughout New England for SMP fast oil connection (FOC) couplers and tiltrotators. Through an arrangement with SMP’s North American distributor, Viking Equipment Inc., Chadwick-BaRoss dealerships in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut will now stock SMP couplers and tiltrotators for excavators and backhoe loaders at all of their locations to serve customers in those states as well as Vermont. The full SMP and Viking Equipment lines also are available through Chadwick-BaRoss. “We are proud to announce this exclusive Viking Equipment distribution agreement with Chadwick-BaRoss,” said David Esposito, Viking’s vice president of North American operations. “The SMP products, and their tiltrotators, are a massive step forward in technology, safety and efficiency for machinery operators. Chadwick-BaRoss is the only place you can get them from Connecticut to Maine.” Known for its development of high-quality products, SMP Parts AB puts a focus on flexibility and security, allowing operators

to quickly and easily switch between various tasks and tools to improve efficiency and safety, the company said. It has been producing equipment for machinery since 1980, introducing its first tiltrotator more than 35 years ago. “With SMP’s top-of-the-line quality and our extensive tiltrotator experience, it is the perfect match,” said Jeremy Jordan, vice president of Chadwick-BaRoss. “We are very excited for the future. Within the next 10 years, we believe that every construction company will have a rotator.” SMP’s tiltrotators increase a machine’s capabilities, allowing the equipment to do precision work that would be more complicated and time-consuming with a conventional excavator arm. Also adding flexibility to a company’s existing equipment, SMP’s FOC couplers make changing attachments fast and easy, and much safer as the operator never needs to get out of the cab, the company said. “Come see us at any of our locations to learn how these products will help you cover more angles and handle more tasks while increasing production and reducing labor costs on your projects,” added Jordan.
